Trip Fuel Cost Calculator

How to Calculate Road Trip Fuel & Gas Costs

1. Enter trip distance in kilometers or miles.
2. Enter your vehicle’s fuel efficiency (e.g. Liters/100km or MPG).
3. Enter current fuel price per liter or gallon.
4. View total fuel required and total out-of-pocket expense.

Trip Fuel Expense Formula

• Metric: Total Liters = (Distance in km / 100) × Fuel Consumption (L/100km)
Total Cost = Total Liters × Price per Liter
• Imperial: Total Gallons = Distance in miles / MPG
Total Cost = Total Gallons × Price per Gallon

Example

• A 500 km road trip in a car using 7.0 L/100km with petrol at $1.50/L:
  Fuel used = (500 / 100) × 7 = 35 Liters.
  Trip Cost = 35 × $1.50 = $52.50.

Common Applications

• Splitting road trip gas money fairly among travelers.
• Budgeting commercial courier and rideshare vehicle fuel expenses.
• Evaluating cost savings of hybrid or electric vehicles.
