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

Ref: EPA fuel economy ratings

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.
