Trip Fuel Cost
Trip fuel cost is calculated from distance, your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, and the price of fuel.
Metric formula:
Fuel Needed (liters) = Distance (km) / Efficiency (km/L)
Trip Cost = Fuel Needed × Price per Liter
Imperial formula:
Fuel Needed (gallons) = Distance (miles) / Efficiency (MPG)
Trip Cost = Fuel Needed × Price per Gallon
Round trip: If you need to return, double the distance before calculating.
Typical fuel efficiency:
- Small cars: 13-18 km/L (30-42 MPG)
- Sedans: 10-15 km/L (24-35 MPG)
- SUVs: 7-12 km/L (17-28 MPG)
- Trucks: 5-9 km/L (12-21 MPG)
