- Enter one-way or round-trip distance depending on what you're planning for.
Frequently asked questions
How do I include tolls and food costs too?
Use the Road Trip Cost Calculator instead, which adds toll costs and daily food/lodging costs on top of this same fuel calculation.
Should I add a buffer to the fuel amount?
Consider adding 10-15% extra as a buffer for detours, traffic-related idling, or AC usage, especially on unfamiliar routes.
What mileage figure should I use?
Use your vehicle's real-world highway mileage if most of the trip is highway driving — city mileage figures are usually lower and would overestimate your fuel needs for a highway-heavy trip.
