Methodology
Total distance applies the return-trip choice and trip count. Fuel economy is converted to litres per 100 km, then multiplied by distance. The selected fuel price is converted to a price per litre. Fuel cost, tolls and other costs are added and divided by the entered people for a shared estimate.
Worked example
A 300-mile return journey in a 30 US MPG vehicle uses about 10 US gallons. At 3.50 per gallon, fuel costs about 35 before tolls or parking.
Trip planning
Recent tank-to-tank economy is often more useful than a best-case rating. Add tolls, parking and expected detours before splitting the trip cost.

Common questions
The calculator converts distance and fuel economy into litres required. It then converts the entered price unit to a price per litre and calculates fuel cost.
Yes. Select the return-journey option to double the one-way distance before multiplying by the number of identical journeys.
Yes. US MPG, Imperial MPG, km/L and L/100 km are supported and converted internally without mixing gallon definitions.
Yes. Fuel, total tolls and other entered trip costs are added before dividing by the number of people.
Traffic, detours, idling, weather, speed, cargo and changing fuel prices can all increase real consumption or cost.
