About the Fuel Cost Calculator
Fuel is usually the largest variable cost of a journey, and the arithmetic is easy to get backwards because mileage is quoted per litre while price is quoted per litre too. This calculator keeps the units straight and gives a total you can split between passengers or claim as travel expenses. It works for petrol, diesel, CNG or any fuel where you know the price and the distance covered per unit.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip?
Divide the trip distance by your vehicle's mileage to get litres needed, then multiply by the price per litre. Enter the three numbers above and the tool does it.
Should I use city or highway mileage?
Use the figure closest to your actual driving. City mileage is usually lower, so a mixed trip sits between the two — estimate conservatively.
Can I calculate cost per person?
Yes — take the total and divide by the number of people sharing the ride.
