What this calculator tells you.

Combine trip distance, vehicle efficiency, and fuel price to estimate fuel volume and cost. Actual use changes with traffic, weather, load, tires, and driving speed.

A 300-mile trip at 30 MPG

INPUT300 mi · 30 MPG · $3.50/gal

RESULT10 gallons · about $35

Questions people ask next.

Should I use highway or combined MPG?

Use the efficiency closest to the trip. A mixed route is better represented by a recent combined average than by the best advertised highway figure.

Why can actual fuel cost differ?

Idling, speed, elevation, temperature, cargo, tire pressure, detours, and changing pump prices all affect the real total.
