Worked example

For a 200 km one-way distance selected as a return trip, the total distance is 400 km. At 6 L/100 km, the journey uses 24 L. At 1.50 per litre plus 12 in total tolls, the trip costs 48 in the same currency; split between three people, that is 16 each.

Methodology and sources

Estimate fuel and trip cost from one-way distance, L/100 km consumption, price per litre, journey type, total tolls and equal passenger splitting.

  1. Multiply the one-way distance by one for a one-way journey or two for a return journey.
  2. Multiply journey distance by L/100 km consumption, then divide by 100 to get litres required.
  3. Multiply litres required by the entered price per litre.
  4. Add the entered whole-journey toll cost.
  5. Divide total trip cost equally by the number of people entered.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Distance and consumption remain constant across the journey.
  • Tolls are the whole-journey amount entered by the user and are not doubled automatically.
  • The total is divided equally across all people entered, including the driver.
  • This is a planning estimate, not a guarantee of actual fuel use or cost.
  • Parking, maintenance, depreciation, insurance and other travel costs are excluded.
  • Actual consumption varies with traffic, speed, terrain, weather, load and driving style.

The consumption input uses the litres-per-100-kilometres convention described in the EU fuel-consumption information rules.
