Fuel Saving Tips
Maintain Proper Tyre PressureUnderinflated tyres can reduce mileage by up to 5%.
Drive at Optimal SpeedRoughly 50–80 km/h tends to give the best fuel efficiency.
Avoid IdlingTurn off the engine during long waits instead of letting it idle.
Plan Your RouteAvoid traffic-heavy routes during peak hours where possible.
Regular ServicingClean air filters and routine servicing can improve mileage by around 10%.
Use AC WiselyAir conditioning can noticeably reduce mileage, especially at low speeds.
Lighten Your LoadRemove unnecessary weight from the vehicle before a long trip.
Smooth DrivingAvoid rapid acceleration and hard braking to save fuel.
How This Calculator Works
The math is simple: fuel required equals distance divided by mileage, and total cost equals fuel required multiplied by fuel price. Entering distance, efficiency, and current fuel price gives an instant estimate, along with a breakdown across daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly periods for repeat trips like a regular commute or a rental car during a longer stay.
Useful for planning a road trip budget, comparing a rental car’s running cost against public transport, or just knowing what a long drive will actually cost before setting off.
