Petrol cost calculator

Works for petrol, diesel and premium. Type where you're going, add stops if you need them, and we'll price the trip with live station prices along your route.

Fuel consumption calculator

Fuel consumption is measured in litres per 100km (L/100km) here in Australia. Enter your last fill-up and the distance you covered and we'll work out your car's real-world figure, plus what each kilometre costs you.

How much does fuel cost per km?

Cost per kilometre depends on your car's fuel use and the price you're paying. As a rough guide, a car using 8 L/100km at $1.80 a litre costs about 14 cents a kilometre. Run your own numbers above for an exact figure.

Plan fuel stops on Australian road trips

Long trips across Australia can mean big distances between towns. Add stops to your route above and we'll help you see where you might need to refuel along the way, based on your tank size and fuel use. Check prices in Queensland or New South Wales before you head off.

Frequently asked questions

How does the fuel cost calculator work?

You enter where you're starting and where you're headed, plus any stops. We map the driving distance and time, then use live fuel prices from official government data covering 8,300+ Aussie stations to work out what the trip will cost you.

What does L/100km mean?

L/100km is litres per 100 kilometres, the standard way Australian cars report fuel use. A car rated at 7 L/100km burns 7 litres for every 100km you drive. The lower the number, the better the fuel economy.

How accurate is the route distance and time?

Distance and drive time come from real mapping data along the actual roads you'd drive, including any stops you've added. Real trip time can shift a bit with traffic, roadworks and how you drive on the day.

How is the cheapest-station saving worked out?

We compare the average fuel price along your route to the cheapest station we can find nearby, both pulled from live government price data. The saving is the difference between paying that average price and filling up at the cheaper station instead.

Can I add stops to my trip?

Yes. Use "Add a stop" to build a trip with multiple legs, handy for road trips that pass through a few towns. Every stop you add is included in the total distance, time and cost.

Does it work for diesel and premium fuel?

Yes. Choose E10, 91, 95, 98 or Diesel and we'll use live prices for that exact fuel type from stations along your route, not just regular unleaded.
