What is it?
A fuel cost estimator that calculates how much fuel you will use on a trip and the total cost, based on your vehicle's fuel consumption rating and local fuel prices.
How to use
Enter the total trip distance in kilometers, your vehicle's fuel consumption in liters per 100 km (usually found in the owner's manual or on the fuel-efficiency sticker), and the price per liter at your local pump.
Example scenario
A 500 km road trip with a car that uses 8 L/100 km and fuel at $1.50/L: you will need 40 liters of fuel costing $60.00 total, or $0.12 per kilometer.
Pro tip
Real-world fuel consumption is typically 10–20% higher than the manufacturer's rated figure, especially in city driving or with heavy loads. Add a buffer to your estimate for highway driving with A/C on.
