How to Use the Fuel Cost Calculator
Enter distance, vehicle mileage (km/L or km/kWh for EV), and current fuel price. Select vehicle type. The calculator shows trip cost and cost per km, plus a petrol vs EV comparison.
Fuel Cost Calculator Formula
Cost = (distance / mileage) × fuel_price; Cost per km = Cost / distanceExample Calculation
Mumbai to Pune (150 km), 15 km/L, ₹106/L petrol:
Fuel needed = 150/15 = 10L; Cost = 10 × 106
Trip cost ≈ ₹1,060; ₹7.07/km
