Fuel Cost Calculator
Calculate total fuel needed and trip cost based on distance, fuel efficiency, and fuel price per liter.
Fuel Cost Estimate
Fuel cost is calculated from distance, vehicle fuel efficiency, and the price of fuel.
Metric formulas:
Fuel Needed (liters) = Distance (km) / Fuel Efficiency (km/L)
Total Cost = Fuel Needed × Price per Liter
Imperial formulas:
Fuel Needed (gallons) = Distance (miles) / Fuel Efficiency (MPG)
Total Cost = Fuel Needed × Price per Gallon
Tips for better fuel efficiency:
- Maintain steady speeds and avoid hard braking
- Keep tires properly inflated
- Remove unnecessary weight from your vehicle
- Use cruise control on highways
- Service your vehicle regularly
Typical fuel efficiency ranges (metric):
- Small cars: 15–20 km/L
- Sedans: 12–16 km/L
- SUVs: 8–13 km/L
- Trucks: 6–10 km/L
- Hybrids: 20–25 km/L
Typical fuel efficiency ranges (imperial / MPG):
- Small cars: 35–47 MPG
- Sedans: 28–38 MPG
- SUVs: 19–31 MPG
- Trucks: 14–24 MPG
- Hybrids: 47–59 MPG
