Fuel Cost Calculator

Estimate the fuel cost of a trip from distance, fuel economy and price.

How to use it

Choose your fuel-economy unit (L/100 km, km/L or mpg), then enter the trip distance, your car's economy and the fuel price. Tick Round trip to double the distance, and set the number of people to split the cost.

Getting an accurate number

Real-world economy varies with speed, load, traffic and weather. Use your car's average from the trip computer for the best estimate.
