How do you calculate total trip fuel cost?

Total Fuel Cost = (Total Distance / Vehicle Fuel Efficiency) × Fuel Price Per Gallon/Liter. Adding tolls and dividing by passenger count gives each individual's fair share.

How do I convert MPG to L/100km?

To convert Miles Per Gallon (US) to Liters per 100km: L/100km = 235.215 / MPG. For example, 30 MPG equals approximately 7.84 L/100km.

Should vehicle wear and tear be included in trip splitting?

For long road trips exceeding 500 miles, including a modest depreciation allowance (e.g., $0.05–$0.10/mile) is common practice to help the vehicle owner offset oil changes and tire wear.

Does city driving vs highway driving change fuel cost?

Yes. City driving with frequent stop-and-go acceleration consumes 20% to 35% more gasoline than steady-speed highway cruising. Enter your vehicle's combined or city rating accordingly.
