The Fuel Cost Formula
Fuel Required (litres) = Distance (km) รท Fuel Efficiency (km/L)
Total Cost = Fuel Required ร Price per Litre
Example Calculation
Road trip of 500 km, car gives 15 km/L, petrol at โน95/L:
Fuel = 500 รท 15 = 33.33 litres โ Cost = 33.33 ร 95 = โน3,167
Tips to Reduce Fuel Costs

Yes! The calculator works for any fuel type โ petrol, diesel, CNG, or even electric vehicles (with appropriate "price per unit" and "range per unit" values).
Set the "Number of Trips" to 2. This doubles the distance and gives you the total fuel cost for both the onward and return journeys.
