Fuel Cost Calculator

Calculate fuel costs for your trip based on distance, fuel efficiency, and gas prices.

How to Calculate Fuel Cost

Calculate the cost of fuel for your trip by entering the distance, your vehicle's fuel efficiency, and the current fuel price. This calculator works for both miles per gallon (MPG) and kilometers per liter (KM/L).

Fuel Cost Formula

Fuel Needed = Distance / Fuel Efficiency
Total Cost = Fuel Needed × Fuel Price
Cost Per Mile = Total Cost / Distance

Tips to Improve Fuel Efficiency

  • Maintain proper tire pressure
  • Avoid aggressive driving (rapid acceleration/braking)
  • Remove excess weight from your vehicle
  • Use cruise control on highways
  • Keep your engine properly maintained
  • Avoid excessive idling
  • Plan routes to avoid traffic

Sedan25-35 MPG
SUV20-28 MPG
Truck15-22 MPG
Hybrid40-60 MPG

Planning Your Trip
