How this tool works
Fuel gallons = total miles ÷ MPG. Fuel cost = gallons × price per gallon.
Example

Common questions
Does this include idling or traffic?
Only indirectly through the MPG you enter. Use a realistic observed MPG for the driving conditions.
Does it include tolls or vehicle depreciation?
No. It estimates fuel expense only.
