Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is fuel consumption calculated?
Fuel consumption is calculated by dividing the trip distance by 100 and multiplying by your vehicle's fuel efficiency (in L/100km). The calculator automatically converts between different units like km/L and mpg.
How are CO2 emissions estimated?
CO2 emissions are calculated using the standard emission factor of 2.31 kg of CO2 per liter of gasoline burned. Diesel vehicles produce approximately 2.68 kg per liter. This calculator uses the gasoline factor for general estimates.
What's the difference between L/100km, km/L, and mpg?
L/100km (liters per 100 kilometers) is common in Europe—lower is better. km/L (kilometers per liter) is used in some Asian countries—higher is better. mpg (miles per gallon) is the US standard—higher is better. Our calculator converts between all formats.
How accurate is the annual fuel cost estimate?
The annual estimate multiplies your current fuel efficiency and price by your estimated annual driving distance. Actual costs may vary based on driving conditions, fuel price changes, and vehicle maintenance.
Is my data stored securely?
All calculations happen directly in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your calculation history is stored locally on your device and can be cleared at any time.
How can I improve my fuel efficiency?
Maintain steady speeds, keep tires properly inflated, reduce excess weight, and avoid rapid acceleration. Regular vehicle maintenance also helps. Track your energy consumption across all areas to save more.
