Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip?
Divide your trip distance by your vehicle's fuel efficiency (MPG or L/100km) to find how much fuel you'll use. Then multiply by the current gas price per gallon or liter to get the total cost.
What is the difference between MPG and L/100km?
MPG (miles per gallon) is used in the US and shows how many miles your car travels on one gallon. L/100km is used in metric countries and shows how many liters are needed per 100 kilometers. Lower L/100km is better, higher MPG is better.
How can I improve my fuel efficiency?
Maintain your vehicle regularly, keep tires properly inflated, avoid excessive idling, reduce speeding, remove unnecessary weight, and use the correct fuel grade recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
