How much fuel will a journey use and cost?

Estimate fuel required from distance and L/100 km, then calculate cost from a price per litre.

Answer with the example values: 29.25 L · €51.19

Formula: 450 × 6.5 ÷ 100 = 29.25 L; 29.25 × €1.75 = €51.19. This is an estimate based entirely on your entered average consumption and price.

This is an estimate based entirely on your entered average consumption and price.

02Understand it

Why this calculation works

litres = distance × L/100 km ÷ 100; cost = litres × price per litre. The calculation above updates with your own values, so the answer is never a disconnected black box.

Worked example

450 km at 6.5 L/100 km uses 29.25 L and costs €51.19 at €1.75/L.

Assumptions and edge cases

  • Consumption and fuel price are estimates.
  • Road, load and weather effects are not predicted.
