Estimate fuel use, trip cost and driving time anywhere in the world, using metric or US units and your chosen currency.

01

Your journey

Enter the total distance. For a return journey, add both directions.

Units

Fuel prices vary by country, region and filling station. For journeys through several countries, enter an estimated average price. No currency conversion is performed.

02

Estimated trip cost

Fuel cost only for the total distance entered.

Weight assumption

The calculator assumes 75 kg (165 lb) per person. The driver is already included in the entered normal consumption. The allowance for additional passengers reflects the ratio of added weight to curb weight and is capped at 0.3 L/100 km per 100 kg.

Why is this an estimate?

Actual consumption depends on traffic, gradients, weather, tyres, driving style and load. Fuel prices also vary between countries, regions and filling stations.

Excluded: tolls, parking, tyres, servicing, depreciation and electric-vehicle charging costs.

Non-binding planning estimate. The result is not a price or consumption guarantee.
FAQ

Trip-cost questions

What the estimate includes and how additional weight is handled.

How are the trip costs calculated?

The calculator combines total distance, estimated consumption and the entered fuel price. Metric and US units are converted consistently. A small allowance for additional occupants is estimated from the vehicle's curb weight and added passenger weight.

Why do I need the vehicle's curb weight?

The same additional load has a greater effect on a light car than on a heavy vehicle. Curb weight makes the passenger-load estimate more plausible.

Are tolls, parking and depreciation included?

No. The result contains only estimated fuel consumption and its petrol cost. Tolls, parking, tyres, servicing and depreciation are excluded.

Can I use the calculator outside Switzerland?

Yes. Choose metric or US units and select CHF, EUR, USD or GBP. No currency conversion is performed: simply enter the fuel price in your selected currency.
