Formula Used
The calculation for your trip's fuel cost is based on the following formula:
Total Fuel Cost = (Distance / Fuel Efficiency) × Gas Price
Where:
- Distance is the total distance of your trip in kilometers.
- Fuel Efficiency is your vehicle's fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter.
- Gas Price is the current price of gasoline per liter in Canadian dollars.
This formula gives you a straightforward estimate of how much you'll spend on gas for your trip.
Worked Example
Let's say you're planning a road trip in Ontario with the following details:
- Your vehicle's fuel efficiency is 8.5 km/L.
- The total distance of your trip is 425 kilometers.
- The current gas price is $1.45 per liter.
Using the formula:
Total Fuel Cost = (425 km / 8.5 km/L) × $1.45/L
= 50 liters × $1.45/L
= $72.50
So, you would estimate spending approximately $72.50 on gas for this trip.
