How to Calculate Fuel Cost
The formula is simple: Fuel Cost = (Distance ÷ Fuel Efficiency) × Fuel Price. For example, a 500 km trip in a car that gets 15 km/litre with fuel at ₹105/litre: (500 ÷ 15) × 105 = ₹3,500.
- Average City Car: 12-15 km/litre is typical.
- Petrol Bike: 40-60 km/litre — much cheaper per km!
- SUV/Diesel: 10-14 km/litre in highway conditions.
- EV Equivalent: Check your car's Wh/km and electricity price instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Manufacturer efficiency ratings are strictly for empty vehicles on flat ground. Carrying heavy luggage, roof racks, and multiple passengers can severely drop your actual fuel efficiency by 10-20%.
Massively. Aerodynamic drag increases exponentially. Driving at 80 MPH consumes roughly 25% more fuel compared to driving at a steady 65 MPH, drastically altering your trip budget.
Road trips rely almost entirely on Highway mileage. However, if your trip involves traffic congestion, mountain passes, or significant city driving, use a blended average to prevent running out of gas.
