Estimate fuel volume and cost from trip distance, vehicle consumption, and a user-entered fuel price.
Method and scope
Fuel (L) = distance (km) × consumption (L/100 km) ÷ 100; cost = fuel × price/L.
Use trip fuel use and cost estimate for educational calculation or a clearly scoped arithmetic estimate. Intended for Learners, General educational use.
Inputs- Trip distance — km, mi
- Vehicle fuel consumption — 1
- Fuel price — 1
SOURCE AND LIMITS
- OpenStax Prealgebra 2e, §5.6 Ratios and Rate; distance and consumption rates scale proportionally. ↗
Assumptions: Consumption is a representative average in litres per 100 km. Trip distance, price, and consumption are user-entered.
Limitations: Real fuel use and local fuel prices vary.
