Fuel Cost with Stops Calculator

Free fuel cost with stops calculator. Total fuel cost for a multi-leg trip with per-leg distance, efficiency (MPG or L/100km), and fuel price. Works with miles or kilometers, gallons or liters.

Enter one leg per line (distance, efficiency, fuel price) and press Calculate.

How fuel cost with stops calculator works

This calculator totals fuel cost across a trip with several legs or stops. Enter one line per leg with its distance, your vehicle's fuel efficiency, and the fuel price, then press Calculate. Each leg can have a different distance, efficiency, and price, so you can model refueling at cheaper stations along the route.

Units are shared across every leg and selected at the top. Distance converts between miles and kilometers (1 mile = 1.609344 km) and fuel volume between gallons and liters (1 gallon = 3.78541 liters). For MPG, fuel used is distance divided by MPG; for L/100km, fuel used is distance times efficiency divided by 100. The cost is fuel used times the price in the matching unit.

The result shows the total trip cost, total distance in both miles and kilometers, total fuel used in both gallons and liters, and the cost per mile and per kilometer, plus a per-leg breakdown. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip with multiple stops?
Enter one leg per line as "distance efficiency fuelPrice" (for example "100 25 4.00" for 100 miles at 25 MPG and $4.00/gallon). The calculator totals the cost, distance, and fuel used across all legs.
Can each leg have a different fuel price?
Yes. Put the price you pay at each stop on its own line. This lets you model filling up where gas is cheaper and compare the total cost of different refueling strategies.
Can I use L/100km and liters?
Yes. Set the Distance unit to Kilometers, the Efficiency to L/100km, and the Fuel price to Per liter. Fuel used for each leg is distance times L/100km divided by 100, then multiplied by the price per liter.
What is cost per mile or per kilometer?
It is the total trip cost divided by the total distance. It is a handy figure for comparing the running cost of a route or a vehicle across different fuel prices and efficiencies.
