Understand the calculation

Formula and example

How it is calculated

Litres = distance × consumption / 100; cost = litres × fuel price + other costs

Worked example

300 km at 6.5 l/100 km uses 19.5 l. At €1.80/l, fuel costs €35.10.

Things to check

  • For a return journey, enter the full distance. All price defaults are editable examples.
  • Use one currency consistently. Examples use euros; the calculation works with any currency.
