Fuel costs: How we calculate
Calculate fuel quantity and trip cost from distance, consumption and unit price.
How we calculate
Fuel = distance × consumption / 100. Cost = fuel × price per litre.
Enter the price yourself. The calculator makes no claim about a current average and does not tie the amount to one currency.
Worked example
Distance is 200 km, consumption 6 l / 100 km and entered price €1.60 per litre. Fuel = 200 × 6 / 100 = 12 l; cost = 12 × 1.60 = €19.20. The price is an example assumption, not a current pump price.
