Our fuel cost calculator India helps you estimate the total fuel expense for any journey. Whether you're planning a daily commute, a weekend road trip, or a long-distance drive, this tool gives you accurate fuel cost estimates.
Simply enter your journey distance, vehicle mileage, and current fuel price to see how many litres of fuel you need and the total cost. This petrol cost calculator works for petrol, diesel, and CNG vehicles.
Fuel Cost = (Distance ÷ Mileage) × Price per Litre
Fuel Cost Examples
- 300 km at 15 kmpl, ₹100/L → 20L, ₹2,000
- 500 km at 20 kmpl, ₹92/L → 25L, ₹2,300
- 1,000 km at 18 kmpl, ₹104/L → 55.6L, ₹5,780
- Daily: 40 km at 15 kmpl, ₹100/L → 2.67L, ₹267/day
Average Fuel Cost per km in India
- Petrol (15 kmpl, ₹104/L): ₹6.93/km
- Diesel (20 kmpl, ₹92/L): ₹4.60/km
- CNG (30 km/kg, ₹85/kg): ₹2.83/km
- Electric (7 km/unit, ₹6/unit): ₹0.86/km

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip?
Enter the total distance in km, your vehicle's mileage (kmpl), and the current fuel price per litre. The calculator shows fuel needed and total cost. Formula: Fuel Cost = (Distance ÷ Mileage) × Fuel Price.
How to calculate fuel required for a journey?
Fuel Required (litres) = Total Distance (km) ÷ Mileage (kmpl). For example, a 500 km trip with 15 kmpl mileage needs 500 ÷ 15 = 33.33 litres of fuel.
What is the average mileage of cars in India?
Average mileage in India: Petrol hatchbacks 18-25 kmpl, Petrol sedans 15-20 kmpl, Diesel sedans 18-25 kmpl, SUVs 10-18 kmpl, CNG cars 25-35 km/kg. Actual mileage depends on driving conditions and maintenance.
What are current petrol prices in India?
Petrol prices in India vary by city: ₹94-110 per litre in most cities. Mumbai and Delhi have different rates. Check local fuel prices as they change monthly based on international crude oil prices.
How to reduce fuel cost for daily commute?
Tips to reduce fuel cost: Maintain proper tyre pressure, avoid rapid acceleration, use public transport or carpool, keep engine well-maintained, reduce AC usage at low speeds, remove roof racks, and plan routes to avoid traffic.
What is the formula for fuel cost calculation?
Fuel Cost = (Distance ÷ Mileage) × Price per Litre. For example: 300 km ÷ 15 kmpl = 20 litres. At ₹100/litre: 20 × ₹100 = ₹2,000 fuel cost. Our calculator does this automatically.
Can I compare petrol vs diesel cost?
Yes, enter different mileage and price values for petrol and diesel. Diesel cars typically give 20-30% better mileage. Even with slightly lower diesel prices, the total cost can be significantly lower for diesel vehicles.
How do I calculate monthly fuel expense?
Estimate your monthly commute distance (e.g., 20 km daily × 22 working days = 440 km). Enter this distance along with your mileage and fuel price. The calculator shows your estimated monthly fuel cost.
What is cost per km for petrol car?
Cost per km = Fuel Price ÷ Mileage. For example, at ₹100/litre with 15 kmpl: ₹100 ÷ 15 = ₹6.67 per km. For a 1,000 km monthly commute: ₹6,670 per month.
Does AC affect fuel cost?
Yes, AC usage reduces mileage by 5-15%, which increases fuel cost proportionally. At low speeds, opening windows is more fuel-efficient. At highway speeds, AC is more efficient than open windows due to aerodynamic drag.
How to calculate road trip fuel budget?
Enter total trip distance, expected highway mileage (usually 10-20% better than city), and fuel price. The calculator shows total fuel needed and cost. Add 10-15% buffer for detours and AC usage.
What is the cheapest fuel in India?
CNG is the cheapest fuel at ₹75-95/kg, with 25-35 km/kg giving ₹2.50-3.50/km. Diesel at ₹90-100/litre with 20+ kmpl gives ₹4.50-5/km. Petrol at ₹100-110/litre with 15 kmpl gives ₹6.50-7.50/km.
