Fuel cost calculator
See what a trip will cost in fuel, even if you don’t know your car’s fuel use: search for it and we’ll use a typical figure. Compare vehicles, split the cost and work out your monthly bill, in any currency. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Enter the distance, pick your vehicle or enter its fuel use, and check the fuel price to see what the trip costs.
This is an estimate, not a quote. Real fuel use depends on how you drive, traffic, hills and road surface, the load, tyre pressure, air conditioning and the state of the vehicle. Vehicle figures are typical, not your car’s, and the distance you actually drive may differ from the map. Pump prices change, often monthly.
Fuel prices by country
These pages start with a published pump price, in that country’s currency and units.
Questions
- How do I work out the fuel cost of a trip?
- Divide the distance by how far your vehicle goes on one litre to get the fuel you need, then multiply by the price of a litre. The calculator does this for you, and handles miles and gallons too.
- I don’t know my car’s fuel use. What do I enter?
- Search for your vehicle by make, model or type, like Honda Fit, Hilux or pickup, and the calculator uses a typical figure for it. Your own car may use more or less, so measure it when you can.
- How accurate is the estimate?
- It’s a guide, not a quote. Driving style, traffic, hills, road surface, the load, tyre pressure, air conditioning and the state of the vehicle all change how much fuel you use, the distance you drive may differ from the map, and pump prices change.
- How do I find my real fuel use?
- Fill the tank and note the distance on the clock. Drive as usual, fill it again, and divide the distance driven by the fuel you added. That’s more honest than the maker’s figure, because it includes your roads and your load.
- Why does a heavy load cost more?
- A loaded vehicle uses more fuel, and so do hills, traffic and bad roads. If you’re often loaded, measure your fuel use on a loaded trip and use that figure.
- Is this the full cost of running a vehicle?
- No, it’s fuel only. Tyres, servicing, insurance and the driver’s time are extra. To include them, use the delivery quote calculator.
