Frequently asked questions

Fuel needed = (distance ÷ 100) × your efficiency (L/100km). Total cost = litres needed × price per litre. Cost per km = total cost ÷ distance.

Fuel planning guide

Check the result against local prices

Use a recent reported price from a nearby station. Check its update time and include any extra distance in your estimate.

Compare against nearby 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.
