How to Use the Travel Calculator
- Enter the distance of your travel in kilometers (km)
- Input your vehicle's fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter (km/L)
- Provide the current fuel price per liter in your local currency (€/L)
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the fuel needed and total cost
- Use the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over
Understanding the Calculation
The Travel Calculator uses the following formula to determine your travel costs:
Total Cost = Distance × Fuel Efficiency × Fuel Price
For example, if you're traveling 100 km in a car that uses 8 liters per 100 km (which is 12.5 km/L), and fuel costs €1.5 per liter, your total cost would be:
100 km × 12.5 km/L × €1.5/L = €187.50
Important Considerations
- For more accurate results, ensure your fuel efficiency is measured under similar conditions as your planned travel
- Consider adding a buffer for unexpected stops or increased fuel consumption
- Fuel prices may vary by location and time, so check current rates before planning
