Formula Used

Distance Calculation

The calculator uses the Haversine formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points on the Earth's surface:

a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)

c = 2 ⋅ atan2(√a, √(1−a))

d = R ⋅ c

Where φ is latitude, λ is longitude, R is Earth's radius (6,371 km), and Δ is the difference between the points.

Travel Time Estimation

Estimated travel time is calculated using:

Time = Distance / Average Speed

Average speeds are based on vehicle type and road conditions.

Fuel Consumption

Fuel consumption is estimated with:

Fuel = Distance / Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiencies are based on vehicle type and fuel type.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a route from New York City to Los Angeles:

Input Value
From New York City, NY
To Los Angeles, CA
Vehicle Type Car
Fuel Type Gasoline

Results:

Metric Value
Distance 2,886 miles
Travel Time 45 hours 30 minutes
Fuel Consumption 102 gallons
Estimated Cost $306 (at $3.00/gallon)

Note

These are estimates. Actual travel times and fuel consumption may vary based on traffic conditions, weather, and vehicle maintenance.
