Fuel Consumption Calculator

Use this calculator to work out litres per 100 km and the equivalent MPG (UK) from distance travelled and fuel used.

Inputs

Enter your values

Enter the trip distance in kilometres for the fuel-use period you want to analyse.

Distance travelled must be greater than zero.

Use the litres of fuel consumed over the same trip or interval.

Fuel used must be greater than zero.

Input guide

These are the main values the calculator uses. Keep the units consistent and, where relevant, match the assumptions explained in the related guide.

Input

Distance travelled

Unit: km

Enter the trip distance in kilometres for the fuel-use period you want to analyse.

Input

Fuel used

Unit: L

Use the litres of fuel consumed over the same trip or interval.

Formulae

L/100 km = fuel used / distance travelled x 100
MPG (UK) = miles travelled / imperial gallons used

When to use this calculator

Use this page when you want to compare fuel efficiency across trips, vehicles, or driving styles using the actual distance and fuel figures you recorded.

How to read the result

The main result shows litres per 100 km, while the supporting value gives the equivalent MPG (UK) so you can compare trips in whichever unit is more familiar.

Worked example

If a trip covers 450 km and uses 32 litres of fuel, the calculator converts that into litres per 100 km and an MPG (UK) figure for quick comparison.

Assumptions and limits

This calculator only applies the numbers you enter. Traffic, weather, vehicle load, tyre pressure, and real driving conditions can shift the actual outcome.

Common questions

Does this page need fuel-price data?

No. This calculator is intentionally focused on fuel efficiency only, so it stays useful without depending on changing pump prices.
