LITRES PER 100 KILOMETRES Calculate your litres per 100 km value. Click here The Petrol Cost Calculator enables you to quickly determine the cost of petrol for a trip. Because we don't pay for the petrol at the time of a trip, we often don't realise the cost of petrol for a trip. By making the cost of petrol apparent you can often save money by making better decisions on whether to use a car, to use public transport, to put off the trip until later, to combine trips, or even to pay a little extra locally, because if you add the cost of petrol, you will often find a cheaper item which is further away actually costs more. CAR DESCRIPTION: The car description is optional and does not affect the calculation. The description field is provided so I can provide a default value and description for cars as I blog about the fuel efficiency of different cars. This will enable others with the same type of car to quicky use the default values for their own car. DISTANCE: Enter the trip distance. A quick way to determine an estimate of the distance is to use Google maps regularly drive the same trip then use the trip meter on your car to record the distance. PETROL PRICE: Enter the current petrol price. The price of petrol varies considerably and people regularly receive discount vouchers from supermarkets.

I've found the pump price without discount at the moment can vary from around $1.30 to nearly $1.60. LITRES PER 100 KM: A common figure used to measure fuel consumption for cars is the number of litres per 100 km. I've found when my car was brand new my car had better fuel consumption. Even with regular servicing by the manufacturer the car's fuel consumption increased. A good technique is to fill up the tank and record the distance to the next time you fill up. Record the distance and the litres. For example: I regularly fill up with around 50 litres with my car doing around 450km. To work out the litres per 100 km divide the
