What is the fuel cost calculator?

Have you ever wondered just how much it would cost in fuel to pay for a journey? Using our calculator you can achieve an accurate price estimate, which comes in handy when car sharing journey's with others allowing you to approximately know how much the fuel will cost before you even leave. All the calculator needs is the journey distance, the price of the fuel and the MPG rating of your car and we'll do the rest.

How to calculate the journey/fuel cost of a journey?

Calculating the fuel cost of a journey does require you to know a few variables, namely your vehicles economy in either MPG (miles per gallon) or l/100 (litres per 100km), the distance of the journey and the price you paid for the fuel. From here it's simply dividing the journey distance by the vehicles economy to get the amount of gallons required to complete the journey, converting gallons to litres followed by multiplying this resulting figure by the price per litre of fuel.
