Calcolatrice costo carburante
The detailed guide below is currently available in English.
How the estimate is built
The trip distance is divided by your vehicle's efficiency to get the fuel volume needed, then multiplied by the pump price. The calculator accepts mpg or L/100km and prices per gallon or per liter, converting internally so mixed units still produce one consistent answer. Ticking round trip simply doubles the distance before the fuel is worked out.
Splitting and comparing trips
The per-passenger row divides the total evenly, the standard way friends settle up on a shared drive. The per-100-miles figure is handy for comparing routes and vehicles because it is independent of trip length: a car that costs $11.67 per 100 miles will cost roughly that on any highway journey, so longer detours scale in a way you can see at a glance.

Does the calculator use one-way or round-trip distance?
It uses whatever you enter. Enter the one-way distance and tick Round trip to double it, or enter the full distance and leave the box unticked — the fuel and cost are the same either way.
Why is my real cost higher than the estimate?
The math assumes steady cruising at your vehicle’s rated efficiency. Air conditioning, headwinds, mountain passes, and short cold-engine trips can push real consumption well above the rating.
Can I use it for an electric car?
Yes, with a little care: treat mpg as miles per kWh-equivalent is not supported, but entering L/100km as kWh/100km and the price per liter as your price per kWh gives a correct electricity cost.
