Fuel Cost: what the result means
Use with a realistic towing fuel-economy estimate, not unloaded highway economy.
Steps
- Enter route distance.
- Enter towing fuel economy and local price.
- Choose one-way or return trip.
- Add a contingency for detours, wind or idling.
Formula
US fuel = miles ÷ MPG; metric fuel = kilometres × L/100 km ÷ 100.
Important limits
- Weather, speed, terrain and load can materially change consumption.
