How to use this calculator
- Enter trip distance, fuel consumption, price per liter.
- Select Calculate to see the answer and its breakdown.
- Keep a scenario, change an input and compare the results.
Use consistent units and check the assumptions below before applying the result.
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 unitFor 500 km at 8 L/100 km and €1.80 per liter, fuel costs about €72.
