Formula
Fuel required equals total trip distance divided by the vehicle's fuel economy. Trip cost equals fuel required multiplied by fuel price.
Fuel needed = distance ÷ mileage
Trip cost = fuel needed × fuel price
Trip cost = fuel needed × fuel price

Important notes
For mpg, use miles for distance and price per gallon for fuel price. For km/L, use kilometres and price per litre.
Real fuel consumption varies with speed, traffic, load, weather and driving conditions.
