Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which unit system should I use?

A: The estimate is based on your inputs. For best accuracy, use your vehicle's real-world fuel consumption rather than the manufacturer's advertised figure.

A: Yes, simply enter the total round-trip distance. For example, if your round trip is 600 km, enter 600 as the distance to get the total cost both ways.
