Explanation
What this calculates
The calculator uses UK imperial gallons for MPG and converts gallons to litres.
Formula
Litres = miles / MPG x 4.54609; cost = litres x price
Inputs are validated on screen and converted where unit options are available.
Worked Example
Example result
150 miles at 32 MPG and GBP1.55/litre costs about GBP33.03.
