Frequently asked questions
What formula does this calculator use?
Fuel needed = d × c ÷ 100; Fuel cost = d × c ÷ 100 × p. Variables: d = trip distance in km, c = fuel consumption in L/100km, p = fuel price per litre.
What do I need to enter?
You need trip distance (km), fuel consumption (L/100km), fuel price per litre. Results update as you type.
