Formula Used
Fuel Cost Calculation
The total fuel cost is calculated using the formula:
Total Cost = (Distance / Fuel Efficiency) × Gas Price
Where:
- Distance = Total kilometers traveled
- Fuel Efficiency = Vehicle's kilometers per liter
- Gas Price = Current price per liter of gasoline
This formula provides a straightforward way to estimate your fuel expenses based on your vehicle's efficiency and the current gas price in Ontario.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the fuel cost for a trip of 500 km using a vehicle with 10 km/L fuel efficiency at a gas price of $1.50/L:
Example Calculation
Total Cost = (500 km / 10 km/L) × $1.50/L
= 50 liters × $1.50/L
= $75.00
This means the estimated fuel cost for this trip would be $75.00.
Interpreting Results
The calculator provides several key pieces of information:
- Estimated Fuel Cost: The total amount you'll spend on gas for your trip
- Fuel Efficiency: How many kilometers your vehicle can travel per liter of gas
- Gas Price Comparison: How your current price compares to other provinces
- Visual Chart: A graphical representation of your fuel expenses
Use these results to plan your budget, compare vehicles, or understand the impact of gas prices on your travel costs.
