Fuel saving = (nearest price − cheaper price) × litres ÷ 100. Detour fuel cost = (detour km × 2 round trip × efficiency) × cheaper price ÷ 100. Net saving = fuel saving − detour cost. If net saving is above $0, the detour pays off.

Use the result before you drive
Pair the calculator with live prices, the price cycle and nearby station data so the estimate reflects what you can actually buy today.
Compare against live prices
A calculator is only as good as the pump price you enter. Check nearby stations first, then run the numbers with a realistic local price.

A cheaper station is not always cheaper after extra distance. Use the detour calculator when the saving is only a few cents per litre.
