About Fuel Calculations
How Fuel Calculations Work:
This calculator uses basic mathematical formulas to estimate fuel consumption and costs. The calculations are based on distance, fuel economy, and current fuel prices to provide accurate estimates for trip planning and budgeting.
Key Formulas Used:
- Trip Fuel Needed: (Distance × Fuel Consumption) ÷ 100
- Trip Cost: Fuel Needed × Fuel Price per Liter/Gallon
- Cost per km/mile: Trip Cost ÷ Distance
- MPG to L/100km: 235.2145 ÷ MPG
- L/100km to MPG: 235.2145 ÷ L/100km
Typical Fuel Consumption by Vehicle Type:
- Compact Car: 5-7 L/100km (47-39 MPG)
- Sedan/Midsize: 7-9 L/100km (34-26 MPG)
- SUV/4x4: 9-12 L/100km (26-20 MPG)
- Truck/Van: 12-15 L/100km (20-16 MPG)
- Hybrid: 3-5 L/100km (78-47 MPG)
- Electric: 15-20 kWh/100km
Fuel Price Variations:
- Regular Gasoline: 87 octane - Most common, least expensive
- Midgrade Gasoline: 89 octane - Middle price range
- Premium Gasoline: 91+ octane - Highest price, for high-performance engines
- Diesel: Typically 10-20% more expensive than regular gasoline
- Electricity: Charging costs vary by location and time of use
Tips for Better Fuel Economy:
- Maintain proper tire pressure (underinflated tires can reduce efficiency by 3%)
- Remove unnecessary weight from your vehicle
- Avoid aggressive driving (rapid acceleration and braking)
- Use cruise control on highways
- Combine trips to avoid cold starts
- Keep up with regular maintenance (clean air filters, proper oil)
- Reduce air conditioning use when possible
Environmental Impact:
- Gasoline produces about 2.3 kg of CO₂ per liter burned
- Diesel produces about 2.7 kg of CO₂ per liter burned
- Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions (emissions depend on electricity source)
- Carpooling can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 75%
Important Notes:
- Actual fuel consumption may vary based on driving conditions, traffic, weather, and vehicle maintenance
- Fuel prices fluctuate daily - check local prices for most accurate calculations
- Electric vehicle costs vary significantly based on charging rates and electricity costs
- Results are estimates - actual costs may differ
- Consider fuel efficiency when purchasing a new vehicle
