Trip budgeting reduces to three numbers multiplied together: how far, how thirsty the vehicle is, and what fuel costs today. The subtlety is unit consistency — L/100km divides differently than km/L, so pick the format matching your dashboard or manual.
Real-world consumption drifts above rated figures with cold starts, cargo weight and aggressive acceleration. Padding estimates 15% covers most conditions; carpooling math appears automatically once you add riders.
Price out any trip from distance, efficiency and current fuel prices. Formula: cost = distance × (L per km) × price. Example: A 420 km drive at 7.5 L/100km burns 31.5 L; at $1.65/L that's $51.98 one way — $25.99 each with two people sharing.
