Distance-scaled fuel consumption

Divide distance by 100 and multiply by the vehicle’s liters-per-100-kilometers figure. Multiply estimated liters by the entered price per liter for the cost estimate.

Liters = distance km × L/100 km / 100; cost = liters × price/L

Worked example

A 240 km drive

Inputs: distance: 240 km · consumption: 7.5 L/100 km · fuelPrice: 1.80 per liter

Illustrative result: 18 L · estimated cost 32.40

At the entered consumption, 240 km uses 2.4 times the 100 km reference amount.
