Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip?
Fuel used = distance ÷ 100 × litres per 100 km. Cost = fuel used × price per litre.
Where do I find my car's consumption?
Check the car's manual or trip computer. A typical petrol car uses 6 to 9 litres per 100 km.
Does driving style change the result?
Yes. Speed, traffic, air conditioning and load all change consumption, so treat the result as an estimate.
