Fuel Cost Calculator – Plan Your Road Trip Budget
The Fuel Cost Calculator helps drivers and travelers estimate the total petrol or diesel expense for any trip. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a long highway journey, knowing your fuel costs in advance helps you budget smartly.
Fuel Cost Formula
Total Fuel Cost = Fuel Required × Price per litre
Cost per km = Total Fuel Cost ÷ Distance
Example Calculation
For a 500 km trip in a car with 15 km/l mileage and petrol at ₹103/litre:
- Fuel Required = 500 / 15 = 33.33 litres
- Total Cost = 33.33 × 103 = ₹3,433
- Cost per km = ₹6.87
Average Mileage of Popular Vehicles
- Maruti Alto / S-Presso: 22–24 km/l
- Honda City / Hyundai Verna: 15–18 km/l
- Toyota Innova: 12–15 km/l
- SUVs (Fortuner, Thar): 8–12 km/l
- Hero Splendor / Honda Activa: 55–65 km/l
