This fuel consumption calculator may be used to do two types of calculations:

  • To calculate how much fuel your vehicle consumes at a known distance. Specify the average fuel consumption of your vehicle and the mileage covered.
  • To calculate the average fuel consumption per 100 km. Specify the mileage covered and the fuel consumed.

How to Cut Gasoline Costs?

  • Use public transport
    In big cities, traveling by public transport is cheaper than by car. Your costs do not depend on the travel distance and traffic jams. If hopper tickets are available in your city or town, your journey will be even cheaper.
  • Use alternative means of transportation
    Use a bike or an e-scooter for short-distance trips, particularly in the downtown. They will get you to your destination much faster than a car navigating a heavy traffic. Plus you don’t have to pay for parking. If you have a bike or a scooter of your own, you may enjoy such trips for free. Every year, more and more metropolises offer bike and scooter sharing services to city residents and tourists.
  • Choose a fuel-efficient car
    A compact car with a small-sized engine consumes two or even three times less fuel than an off-roader with a powerful engine.
  • Share car trips with other passengers
    Shared car trips cut travel costs of each person on board. The more passengers are on board, the cheaper is a travel for each person on board. If your colleagues or classmates live nearby and need to arrive at work / in class at the same time as you, offer them a ride.
  • Carefully plan your trip
    Nowadays, every driver has a navigator in their mobile phone. The navigator will map out the shortest way and show you traffic jams and how to avoid them.

Gasoline Mileage Drivers

Engine power The more powerful your car engine is, the more fuel it consumes. Powerful engines may consume two or three times more fuel than fuel-efficient ones.
Car age Internal combustion engines were invented back in the 19th century and the principle of their operation has remained unchanged ever since. However, their efficiency and environmental friendliness have been continuously improving. Thus, state-of-the-art models are much more efficient than those built 10 years ago.
Travel route If you drive on a highway with minimum acceleration and braking, the fuel consumption will be considerably lower than in stop-and-go traffic of a city or town.
Driving style Drive sensibly to lower fuel consumption. Aggressive driving wastes fuel.
Car’s condition Some malfunctions may cause a higher fuel consumption. If you encounter that your engine consumes more fuel than usually, it is high time to check the engine and its components.
Keep your tires inflated properly.
Season In winter warming up your engine by idling before setting off wastes extra gasoline. If you drive every day, your car will use considerably more extra fuel over winter. Idling during short stops also lowers the fuel efficiency. In summer you can shut down the engine but in winter you often let it idle to keep the car interior warm.
Driving with the AC on in summer also affects the fuel efficiency.
Passengers and baggage The more passengers and baggage are on board your car, the lesser is your gasoline mileage. Such overloading particularly affects small-sized cars, for which it means a considerable add-on to their weight. For instance, if one of your passengers is a 100 kg man, his weight adds 10% to the weight of a small-sized hatchback. Fuel consumption increases accordingly.

Choosing a Fuel-Efficient Car

Nowadays, electric cars are most fuel-efficient. They run on rechargeable batteries. Electric power costs less than gasoline.

Hybrid cars take the second place in the fuel efficiency rating. They feature a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor. They are considerably more fuel efficient vs. gasoline cars or diesel cars.

However, if electric and hybrid cars are not convenient for you, you most likely will have to choose a conventional car. Most fuel-efficient conventional cars are lightweight and have a small engine.
