How it is computed
Fuel used = distance ÷ 100 × consumption (L/100 km); cost = fuel used × price per litre. Pick the fuel price above the table. Real consumption rises with speed, cold weather, load and city driving.
FAQ
Where do I find my car's consumption?+
The trip computer shows it, or divide the litres you put in at a fill-up by the kilometres driven since the last one, times 100.
How do I split the cost with passengers?+
Divide the cell by the number of people in the car. The calculator does it and can add a return trip.
