Estimated total fuel costFuel only. Tolls, parking, meals, maintenance and accommodation are excluded. Actual economy varies with traffic, terrain, load and driving conditions.
No black-box answers.
- Fuel needed (L) = distance (km) ÷ economy (km/L).
- Fuel cost = fuel needed × price per litre. Per-person cost = fuel cost ÷ people.
- Cost per km = price per litre ÷ economy. It represents the entered rate even for a zero-distance trip.

A few things to know
Does the currency selector convert money?
No. It changes labels only. Enter every amount in one currency.
How do I convert L/100 km?
Divide 100 by your L/100 km figure to get km/L. For example, 8 L/100 km is 12.5 km/L.
Does it include a return journey?
Only if you include that distance yourself. Enter the full distance you plan to drive.
