How fuel cost is calculated

Fuel needed = distance ÷ mpg (or distance × l/100 km ÷ 100). Multiplied by the price, that's the cost. 250 miles at 30 mpg and $3.50/gal is 8.3 gallons or $29.17.

Real-world consumption depends on driving style, load, A/C and route. Splitting per person is handy for carpools – wear and insurance aren't included.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my mpg?

Does it work for electric cars?

Yes, in metric mode: enter kWh/100 km as consumption and the price per kWh.

Are tolls and wear included?

No, only fuel cost is calculated.
