The Petrol Cost Per Km calculation helps determine how much you spend on fuel for each kilometer driven. This is useful for budgeting, comparing vehicles, or calculating trip costs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Petrol Price — Current fuel price per liter in dollars
• Efficiency — Your vehicle's fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter

Explanation: Dividing the price per liter by the distance your vehicle can travel on one liter gives you the cost per kilometer.

3. Importance of Cost Calculation

Details: Knowing your cost per km helps with budgeting fuel expenses, comparing vehicle efficiency, and calculating trip costs more accurately.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current petrol price in $/L and your vehicle's efficiency in km/L. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: Check your owner's manual, fuel economy stickers, or track your km driven vs. liters used over several fill-ups.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate but actual costs may vary based on driving conditions, vehicle maintenance, and driving style.

Q3: Should I use city or highway efficiency?
