Fuel Cost Calculator
Calculate total fuel consumption and cost for a trip based on distance and efficiency.
Planning a road trip or commute budget? This calculator estimates how much fuel you will use and what it will cost based on your vehicle's consumption rate and local fuel price.
Fuel consumption is typically measured in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km) in most countries, or miles per gallon (MPG) in the US and UK. A typical passenger car uses 6–9 L/100km, while SUVs and trucks may use 10–15 L/100km.
The total fuel needed equals distance multiplied by consumption rate divided by 100. Multiply by the fuel price per liter to get total cost. Driving habits significantly affect consumption — maintaining steady speeds, proper tire pressure, and avoiding heavy loads can improve efficiency by 10–20%.
