What is a Fuel Cost Calculator?

Calculates total fuel cost for any trip based on distance, vehicle mileage (km/L), and fuel price. Critical for road trip planning, daily commute budgeting, delivery business pricing, comparing transport options (drive vs train/flight). Includes one-way and round trip modes.

How to use

1. Enter trip distance — One-way distance in km
2. Enter vehicle mileage — Fuel efficiency in km per litre
3. Set fuel price — Current rate per litre
4. Choose one-way or round — Tool doubles distance for round trip

Tips

• Highway mileage 15-25% better than city
• Account for AC use: reduces mileage 10-15%
• Diesel typically gives 30-40% better mileage than petrol
• CNG cars: much cheaper per km but lower mileage in km/kg

FAQs

How to know exact mileage?

Track odometer + fill-ups for 1-2 months. Total km / total litres = real mileage. Manufacturer claims are usually optimistic.

Toll costs included?

No — this tool only fuel. Add toll separately for actual trip cost.

Electric vehicle cost?

For EVs, use kWh consumption instead. Tata Nexon EV: ~15 kWh per 100 km. Cost = kWh × electricity rate.
