  1. Choose units and enter the distance.
  2. Enter your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and the fuel price.
  3. Tick round trip if you are coming back. Press Calculate.

Formula

Fuel = distance ÷ km per litre (or distance × L/100 km ÷ 100, or miles ÷ mpg). Cost = fuel × price.

Examples

  • 350 km at 15 km/L with fuel at 105 per litre: 23.33 L → 2,450.
  • 220 miles at 28 mpg, $3.40/gal: 7.86 gal → $26.71.
