What counts as average speed
Highway cruising might run 65–70 mph, but once traffic lights, small towns, and fuel stops are averaged in, most long trips work out near 50–55 mph door to door. Using a realistic average keeps the driving-time estimate honest; the fuel and cost figures do not depend on speed at all, only on distance and your vehicle's consumption.
Budgeting with cost per mile
The cost-per-mile row is the number to remember: multiply it by any distance to price a different route instantly. At 30 mpg and $3.50 fuel, every mile costs about 12 cents, so a 40-mile commute each way burns roughly $10 a day. Switch the efficiency entry to what your own tanks deliver — the sticker rating usually flatters real-world mixed driving by 10–15%.
Perguntas frequentes
How accurate is the driving time?
It is distance divided by the average speed you enter, so it is only as good as that guess. For interstate trips, 55 mph including brief stops is a sensible planning figure.
Can I plan an electric vehicle trip?
Yes: enter efficiency in L/100km read as kWh per 100 km, and set the fuel price per liter to your price per kWh. The fuel-used row then reads in kWh-equivalent units.
Does the cost include wear, tolls, or depreciation?
No — this is fuel only. For a fuller per-mile figure, organizations like AAA add maintenance and tire wear, which typically brings a midsize car to well over 50 cents per mile.
