How fuel cost is calculated

Estimate trip fuel expense from distance, fuel economy, and the price per fuel unit. Choose metric consumption (L/100 km) or distance-per-volume (mpg or km/L); the calculator converts the required fuel amount before multiplying by price. For 500 km at 8 L/100 km and €1.80 per liter, fuel costs about €72. The calculation validates each input and keeps its stated units explicit. No. It estimates fuel only; add tolls, parking, and vehicle wear separately. This is an estimate for the stated assumptions; confirm measurements and any applicable professional or local standards before relying on it.

cost = distance × consumption per distance × price per fuel unit
A worked example

For 500 km at 8 L/100 km and €1.80 per liter, fuel costs about €72.

Assumptions & useful context

The result depends on the values you enter and the method described above. Displayed numbers may be rounded; calculations use the unrounded values. Check that this model matches your situation before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include tolls?

No. It estimates fuel only; add tolls, parking, and vehicle wear separately.

Which mpg definition is used?

The field specifies US or Imperial mpg, since the two gallons have different volumes.
