How it works
The formula behind this calculator.
cost = distance × (consumption / 100) × pricePerLiter
- distance
- Trip distance (km)
- consumption
- Vehicle fuel economy (L/100 km)
- price
- Fuel price per liter
Real-world fuel economy is 10–20% worse than the EPA rating, especially at high speeds or in cold weather.
Example: 500 km × 7 L/100km × $1.50/L = $52.50

Tips
- 💡 Real-world fuel economy is 10–20% worse than the EPA rating, especially at high speeds or in cold weather.
- 💡 For EVs, replace fuel cost with electricity cost (kWh × price per kWh) and use miles/kWh instead of MPG.
