Formula Used
The gas price calculation uses this formula:
Total Cost = (Distance / Fuel Efficiency) × Gas Price
Where:
- Total Cost is the estimated fuel expense in Canadian dollars ($)
- Distance is the total kilometers you plan to travel (km)
- Fuel Efficiency is your vehicle's fuel consumption in kilometers per liter (km/L)
- Gas Price is the current price of fuel in Canadian dollars per liter ($/L)
Worked Example
Let's calculate the fuel cost for a 500 km trip in a vehicle with 8 km/L fuel efficiency at a gas price of $1.50/L.
Total Cost = (500 km / 8 km/L) × $1.50/L
= 62.5 L × $1.50/L
= $93.75
Your estimated fuel cost for this trip would be $93.75.
