How It Works

This calculator uses a straightforward formula: divide your trip distance by your vehicle's fuel efficiency to get the gallons needed, then multiply by the current gas price to get the total cost.

You can switch between US units (miles/gallons) and metric units (kilometers/liters) for international travelers. Enable the round trip toggle to automatically double the distance for a there-and-back calculation.

The cost per mile (or kilometer) metric helps you compare the true running costs of different vehicles or plan your travel budget more accurately.
