How Fuel Cost Is Calculated
The calculator first converts your distance, fuel economy and fuel price into compatible measurement units.
Fuel required:
Distance ÷ Fuel economy
Distance ÷ Fuel economy
Fuel expense:
Fuel required × Price per fuel unit
Fuel required × Price per fuel unit
Total journey cost:
Fuel expense + Additional costs
Fuel expense + Additional costs
For vehicles measured in liters per 100 kilometers, fuel usage is calculated by multiplying the distance by the consumption rate and dividing the result by 100.
