What is the Fuel Cost Calculator?
This fuel cost calculator estimates how much fuel a trip needs and what it will cost. Enter the distance in kilometres, your vehicle mileage in kilometres per litre and the current price per litre. It then shows litres needed, total trip cost and cost per kilometre.
How it works
Fuel needed is the distance divided by the mileage in kilometres per litre. Trip cost is the fuel needed multiplied by the price per litre. Cost per kilometre is the trip cost divided by the distance. If mileage or distance is zero, the result is shown as 0.
How to use it
- Enter the trip distance in kilometres.
- Enter your vehicle mileage in km per litre.
- Enter the fuel price per litre.
- Read the fuel needed, trip cost and cost per kilometre.
Fuel Cost Calculator — FAQ
Where do I find my vehicle mileage?
Divide the distance travelled by the litres used between two full tank fills. This real-world figure is usually more accurate than the brochure number.
Is the fuel price included in the tool?
No. Fuel prices change often and vary by city, so you type the current price per litre yourself.
Will actual cost match the estimate?
It is an estimate. Traffic, speed, load and driving style change the mileage you actually get.
