Questions & answers

Are US and Imperial gallons the same?

No. Select the MPG and fuel-price unit that match your figures. The tool does not convert one system into another.

What does return trip change?

It doubles the entered distance and estimated fuel usage. Other charges are added only once for the entire trip.

Does changing units convert existing inputs?

No. Field labels change, and you enter matching values or choose the appropriate example.

Which currency is used?

The currency you use for fuel price and other charges. No exchange-rate lookup or conversion occurs.

Will this predict exact fuel use?

No. It assumes constant consumption. Traffic, speed, load and other driving conditions can change actual usage.

Can I save the result?

Yes. Download the text result or JSON report, or copy the result. Editing inputs invalidates the previous result until you calculate again.
