Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Useful as a printable trip budget, quote note, mileage reimbursement support or shared travel-cost worksheet.

  • Distance is entered in kilometres and fuel economy is entered as litres per 100 kilometres.
  • Fuel price is a per-litre price in whatever currency the user wants to use consistently.
  • The estimate assumes the entered fuel economy already reflects city, highway, load, weather and driving style conditions.
  • Fixed costs are optional and are kept separate from fuel so the report can show both the pump estimate and the wider trip note.
  • This is a planning calculator, not a guarantee of actual pump spend.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: when the trip includes heavy traffic, mountain roads, towing, winter conditions or a full load, print the base estimate and add a 10–15% manual buffer rather than hiding the uncertainty inside the fuel-economy number.

Method

Fuel used = distance × fuel economy ÷ 100. Fuel cost = fuel used × fuel price per litre. Total trip cost = fuel cost + optional fixed costs.

  1. For a 250 km trip at 7.5 L/100 km, fuel used is 250 × 7.5 ÷ 100 = 18.75 litres. At 1.85 per litre, fuel cost is 18.75 × 1.85 = 34.6875, displayed as 34.69. If fixed costs are 12.00, the total trip note is 46.69.

Assumptions

  • Distance is entered in kilometres and fuel economy is entered as litres per 100 kilometres.
  • Fuel price is a per-litre price in whatever currency the user wants to use consistently.
  • The estimate assumes the entered fuel economy already reflects city, highway, load, weather and driving style conditions.
  • Fixed costs are optional and are kept separate from fuel so the report can show both the pump estimate and the wider trip note.
