Fuel Cost & Mileage Calculator

Fuel cost is calculated using a simple formula:
Fuel Cost = (Total Distance / Vehicle Mileage) * Fuel Price per Liter.

For instance, if you drive 150 km with a car mileage of 15 km/l, and the petrol price is ₹100/liter:
• Fuel needed: 150 / 15 = 10 Liters
• Total cost: 10 * 100 = ₹1,000.

The best way to calculate mileage is the tank-to-tank method:

1. Fill your fuel tank completely and note your odometer reading (Reading A).
2. Drive normally until the tank needs a refill.
3. Fill the tank completely again and note the liters pumped (Liters) and the new odometer reading (Reading B).
4. Calculate distance: Distance = Reading B - Reading A.
5. Calculate mileage: Mileage = Distance / Liters.

Several factors can decrease fuel efficiency, including:

• Aggressive driving: Rapid acceleration and frequent braking.
• Low tire pressure: Creates more rolling resistance.
• Excess weight: Carrying heavy items in the vehicle.
• AC usage: Air conditioning puts extra load on the engine.
• Poor maintenance: Dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, or old engine oil.

To maximize your fuel economy:

• Maintain a steady speed and drive within speed limits (50–70 km/h is usually optimal).
• Check tire pressure once every week.
• Turn off the engine at long red lights or traffic jams.
• Get your car or bike serviced at regular intervals.
• Avoid loading your vehicle unnecessarily.
