How to Estimate Fuel Cost for a Trip

The method is simple — do it by hand in under a minute, or let the calculator above do it instantly for your exact car and currency:

  1. Get the distance. Pick a preset route or enter a custom distance in kilometres.
  2. Find your car's fuel economy. Look up its city, highway, or combined L/100km figure from the model list.
  3. Multiply by the price per litre. Litres needed = (consumption ÷ 100) × distance. Cost = litres × current price per litre.

Our original fuel cost calculator was built for Nigerian drivers — Naira pricing, Lagos–Abuja style routes, local pump-price ranges. As traffic started coming in from outside Nigeria, we built this global version alongside it rather than diluting the Nigeria-specific one.

This tool now covers 44 currencies and real road-distance routes across 53 countries and 200+ cities — from Lagos to Tokyo, Cairo to Buenos Aires, Warsaw to Wellington. Pricing is refreshed market by market as we verify official or regulator-published data rather than estimating, so a handful of currencies (e.g. Iran, Argentina, Nigeria) carry wider slider ranges because their pump prices move fast.

Prefer a Nigeria-only experience with deeper local content? Use the original Fuel Cost Calculator instead — same underlying math, Naira-first.

Reference Pump Prices by Region

Every pump-price default in this tool is sourced from national fuel-price trackers or regulator data (Pemex/CRE, YPF pricing coverage, CREG, ENAP/MEPCO, and others) — not a guess. Fuel prices vary enormously between countries — not just because of currency, but taxes, subsidies, and local regulation. 2026 has been an especially volatile year for pump prices worldwide following a global supply disruption, so treat these as a starting reference, not today's exact price:

MarketReference PriceNote
United States≈ $1.30 / litreNational average, regular unleaded
United Kingdom≈ £1.50 / litreUnleaded 95, includes fuel duty and VAT
Nigeria≈ ₦1,000 / litrePMS — moves often, wide slider range
India≈ ₹100 / litreVaries significantly by state taxes
UAE≈ AED 2.80 / litreGovernment-set, adjusted monthly
Canada≈ C$1.90 / litreNational average, climbed amid 2026 supply shock
Australia≈ A$1.90 / litreNational average unleaded 91
South Africa≈ R23 / litreRegulated price, adjusted monthly

Reference prices only — they change frequently. Use the slider in the calculator above to enter the exact price you're paying today. Full data for all 44 currencies is available inside the tool.

L/100km vs km/L vs MPG

Manufacturers usually quote fuel economy as litres per 100km (L/100km) — a lower number means better economy. To get litres per km, divide by 100: an 8L/100km car uses 0.08 litres per km. Most petrol cars fall in the 6–12L/100km range.

To find km per litre — often the more intuitive number — divide 100 by the L/100km figure. An 8L/100km car does 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5km per litre.

If you're used to thinking in miles per gallon (MPG) — common in the US and UK — the conversion is roughly: MPG (US) ≈ 235 ÷ L/100km, and MPG (UK/imperial) ≈ 282 ÷ L/100km, since the US and imperial gallon are different sizes. An 8L/100km car is about 29 US MPG or 35 UK MPG.

Diesel engines are typically 15–25% more efficient than a comparable petrol engine — commonly 5–9L/100km, or roughly 11–20km per litre.

Example: London to Manchester

Sam was quoting a client for a one-way delivery run and wanted a quick sanity check before committing to a price. The road distance from London to Manchester is roughly 320km. Their van does about 9L/100km on the motorway — that's 320 × (9 ÷ 100) ≈ 29 litres. At £1.50/litre, that's about £43 in fuel alone, before tolls or return leg. Knowing that number before quoting kept the job profitable.

Global Fuel Cost FAQ

How do I estimate the fuel cost of a trip?

Multiply your route’s distance (km) by your car’s consumption (L/100km), divide by 100 to get litres needed, then multiply by the price per litre. This calculator does it instantly for 100+ models, in your own currency.

Which currencies does this calculator support?

Currently 13: NGN, USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, ZAR, INR, AED, MXN, ARS, COP, and CLP. More are being added as we verify real pump-price data for each new market.

Are the pump prices always current?

The default shown is a recent reference point, but prices — especially in Argentina and Nigeria, and globally amid the 2026 supply disruption — change often. Use the slider to match today’s actual price at your pump.

How accurate are the preset route distances?

Preset routes use real road-distance figures, not straight-line distance — tested against known driving distances rather than a flat geometric estimate. For any other route, use Custom Distance.

Does driving style change fuel cost much?

Yes, significantly. Stop-start traffic, hard braking, and constant air-conditioning can push real-world consumption 25–40% above the highway figure. Toggle between City, Mixed, and Highway mode to see the difference.

How many litres per 100km does a typical car use?

Between 6 and 12L/100km, depending on engine size and driving conditions. Divide by 100 for litres per km, or divide 100 by it for km per litre.

How much more efficient is diesel than petrol?

Typically 15–25% more efficient. A diesel car commonly uses 5–9L/100km — roughly 11–20km per litre, noticeably better than a comparable petrol engine.

Can I use this for a car not in the list?

Pick the closest comparable model and body size — consumption rates are fairly similar within a vehicle class. We’re expanding the model list regularly.

How do I convert L/100km to MPG?

MPG (US) ≈ 235 ÷ L/100km, and MPG (UK/imperial) ≈ 282 ÷ L/100km — the US and imperial gallon are different sizes, so the two MPG figures aren’t the same for an identical car.

How much fuel does a London to Manchester trip cost?

The road distance is about 320km. A car with mixed consumption of 7L/100km would need roughly 22 litres — around £33 at £1.50/litre.
