Estimate fuel cost for a journey from distance, consumption (L/100 km or US MPG) and price per litre or gallon.
Enter trip distance, your vehicle’s fuel consumption, and local pump price. The tool multiplies litres needed by price to show total fuel spend and cost per kilometre. Switching units helps travellers comparing European L/100 km figures with US MPG.
For electric trips, use our EV charging time calculator as a companion; energy cost per kWh varies by tariff and charger.
Smooth acceleration, correct tyre pressure, removing roof boxes when unused and anticipating traffic lights reduce consumption. Short trips with cold engines use disproportionately more fuel per kilometre.
If you car-pool or split costs, divide the total by passengers to compare with public transport options fairly.
