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
