How do you calculate fuel costs?

When using our cost to drive calculator, make sure to factor in gas costs to the total costs. How can you do this?

If you know the average price of gas, say $4.90, all you need to do is type that into the Cost of Gas box, and we will calculate for you how much gas you will be spending on your trip.

Why do you need to know how much you will spend on gas when using a cost to drive calculator?

Well, gas is an important cost to know, as you will need to make sure you have enough money to spend on it, especially with gas prices increasing.

How much will it cost you in gas to travel? Say your trip distance is 200 miles, gas costs $4.90, and your car takes 25 miles per gallon. You will simply multiply 200 x $4.90, which is $980, and divide by 25 miles per gallon, which leaves you with a total gas cost of $39.20. This is important to keep in mind when using a cost to drive calculator.

Miles per gallon of car

When using our cost to drive calculator, to calculate driving expenses accurately, you will also want to factor in how many miles per gallon that your car gets.

The more miles per gallon that your car gets, especially on the highway, means that you will spend less on gas. But if your car does not gat that many miels per gallon, you will spend more on gas. In our free cost to drive calculator, we have included a section for you to add in how many miles per gallon that your car gets, so that way you can see exactly how much you will spend when driving to your destination.

Cost to drive calculator with tolls

When using our cost to drive calculator, to calculate driving expenses accurately, you will also want to factor in how much you will spend on tolls.

Now, we know that can be difficult to calculate, so we came up with a simple formula that on average, for every 50 miles you travel, you will encounter one toll. With our cost to drive calculator, you can simply put in the cost of each toll, and you will get a rough estimate of the total toll costs for your trip.

So, if you believe that you might spend $1 on tolls, simply type in that amount into the text field, and our cost to drive calculator will add in one toll cost for every 50 miles that you are traveling. So if you are traveling for 100 miles, you might spend $2 on tolls. Tap here to use our cost to drive calculator.

Hotel costs

Another key point to recognize when using a cost to drive calculator is factoring hotel costs.

If you plan to drive for a long time, you may consider renting an Airbnb or getting a hotel. But how much will this add to your total trip cost? In our cost to drive calculator, all you need to do is simply add in the cost you think it will be to stay overnight, and our cost to drive calculator will add this into the total cost to drive.

Also, the pace at which you are driving will determine how many hotels you will stay at, right? If your destination is 500 miles away, and you drive 100 miles a day, it will take you 5 days to get there. This means that you might stay at a hotel for 4 nights.

In our cost to drive calculator, simply type in the amount of miles you will drive per day to reach our destination, and our cost to drive calculator will determine how many nights you will stay at a hotel.

Dining costs

Another key point to recognize when using a cost to drive calculator is factoring in how much you will spend on food and dining.

Let's say that you are traveling as a family of four. Each meal will cost you $15, and you eat 3 meals a day, That adds up to about $50 a day per person. Multiply this by four, and you get a total dining cost per day of $200. Now, multiple this by the amount of days that you are traveling, and our cost to drive calculator will factor in how much you will spend on food to the total cost to drive.
