About the Fuel Cost Calculator
Planning a road trip or working out your monthly commute cost? The AlarmDaddy Fuel Cost Calculator turns distance, your vehicle's mileage, and the current fuel price into a clear rupee figure. It works for petrol, diesel, or CNG, and can estimate a one-way trip, a round trip, or a monthly commute.
Enter the trip distance, your vehicle's mileage (kilometres per litre), and the current fuel price per litre. The calculator returns the litres needed and the total fuel cost. Toggle round-trip to double it, or enter your daily commute and working days to project a monthly fuel budget. It is the quickest way to compare the running cost of two vehicles or to split fuel money fairly on a shared trip.
How to use this calculator

The formula
Distance divided by mileage gives the litres of fuel required. Multiplying by the price per litre gives the trip cost. For a round trip the distance is doubled; for a monthly estimate the daily distance is multiplied by working days.
