Road trip cost
Estimate fuel first, then add the costs that are easy to forget. The sample assumes 640 km of driving, 6.8 litres per 100 km, and prices in US dollars.
| @1 | distanceKm = 640 | |
| @2 | consumptionLPer100Km = 6.8 | |
| @3 | fuelLitres = distanceKm * consumptionLPer100Km / 100 | |
| @4 | fuelPricePerLitre = 1.74$ | |
| @5 | fuelCost = fuelLitres * fuelPricePerLitre | |
| @6 | lodging = 280$ | |
| @7 | meals = 210$ | |
| @8 | tripTotal = fuelCost + lodging + meals |
How it works
- Change
distanceKmandconsumptionLPer100Kmto match your route and car. - Update the fuel price, lodging, and meals as you book each part of the trip.
- Use
fuelCostandtripTotalto keep the intermediate amount visible.
The calculator keeps the numbers editable, so you can compare a second route by adding another group below a blank line.
