How it works

Estimate trip fuel cost from distance, consumption and litre price. This free estimate is for planning purposes. Verify financial and tax decisions with a qualified professional.

How trip fuel cost is estimated

The calculator multiplies distance by consumption per 100 km, then by the price per litre: cost = (distance × consumption ÷ 100) × price per litre.

500 km at 7 L/100 km and $1.80/L

(500 × 7 ÷ 100) × 1.80 = $63 in estimated fuel cost.

Why consumption is per 100 km

Fuel economy is commonly expressed as litres used per 100 km driven, so the distance is scaled by that ratio before pricing.

Round trips

Double the distance value for a round trip, or enter the full round-trip distance directly.
