The formula

Fuel cost = distance ÷ km per litre × price per litre

Worked example

A Lahore to Islamabad return trip of about 760 km in a car doing 12 km per litre uses 760 ÷ 12 = 63.3 litres. At Rs 265 a litre that's about Rs 16,783, or about Rs 4,196 each for four people.

Questions people ask

How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip?

Divide the distance by your car's kilometres per litre to get the litres used, then multiply by the price per litre.

My car shows litres per 100 km. How do I convert?

Divide 100 by it: 8 L/100 km is 12.5 km per litre. The unit converter does this for miles per gallon too.

Why is my real fuel cost higher?

City traffic, air-conditioning, heavy loads and high speeds all cut mileage below the official figure.
