Fuel is one of the few running costs of a car that scales directly with how far you drive. That makes it easy to estimate a trip once you know three things: distance, economy and price.
Enter a trip distance, your fuel economy and the local fuel price, and choose one-way or round trip. It returns the fuel needed, the total cost and the running cost per 100 km or 100 miles.
The two unit systems work in opposite directions: in metric, a bigger economy number means more fuel used; in MPG, a bigger number means less.
A 300 km round trip is 600 km driven. At 7.5 L/100 km that is 600 ÷ 100 × 7.5 = 45 litres. At $1.60 a litre the trip costs $72.00, and the running cost is 7.5 × 1.60 = $12.00 per 100 km.
| Distance | Economy | Fuel | Cost at $1.60/L |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 km | 7.5 L/100 km | 7.5 L | $12.00 |
| 500 km | 7.5 L/100 km | 37.5 L | $60.00 |
| 500 km | 5.0 L/100 km | 25.0 L | $40.00 |
油费是汽车少数几个直接随行驶里程线性变化的成本之一。所以只要知道三件事 —— 距离、油耗、油价 —— 就能把一趟行程的花费估得相当准。
输入行程距离、油耗与当地油价,并选择单程或往返。它会给出所需油量、总花费,以及每 100 公里(或英里)的运行成本。
两套单位的方向相反:公制下油耗数值越大越费油;MPG 下数值越大越省油。
单程 300 公里、往返共行驶 600 公里。按 7.5 L/100km 计算,耗油 = 600 ÷ 100 × 7.5 = 45 升。油价 1.60 元/升时总花费 72.00 元,单位成本为 7.5 × 1.60 = 12.00 元/100 公里。
| 距离 | 油耗 | 耗油量 | 花费(1.60 元/升) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 公里 | 7.5 L/100km | 7.5 升 | 12.00 元 |
| 500 公里 | 7.5 L/100km | 37.5 升 | 60.00 元 |
| 500 公里 | 5.0 L/100km | 25.0 升 | 40.00 元 |
Divide the distance by your fuel economy to get the fuel used, then multiply by the price per unit. At 7.5 L/100 km over 300 km you need 22.5 litres; at $1.60 a litre that is $36.00.
Divide 235.2 by the MPG figure. 30 MPG becomes 235.2 ÷ 30 = 7.84 L/100 km. The conversion is inverted — a higher MPG means a lower L/100 km.
Official economy tests are run in controlled conditions. Cold starts, air conditioning, roof racks, heavy loads, short trips and aggressive driving all raise consumption, often by 15-30%.
