Understanding Fuel Cost Calculations

How It Works

The fuel cost calculator uses your vehicle's fuel efficiency, current fuel prices, and trip distance to estimate both fuel consumption and total cost. The formula used is:

Fuel Used = Distance ÷ Fuel Efficiency Total Cost = Fuel Used × Price per Unit

Tips for Accuracy

  • Use your vehicle's combined MPG for mixed driving
  • For highway trips, use highway MPG ratings
  • Consider factors like traffic and terrain
  • Check current local fuel prices
