1. What is the Fuel Price Calculator?

The Fuel Price Calculator UK helps you estimate the cost of fuel for your journey based on distance traveled, vehicle fuel consumption rate, and current fuel prices in the UK.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the fuel cost formula:

Where:

• \( distance \) — Journey distance in kilometers
• \( consumption \) — Fuel consumption rate in liters per 100km
• \( price\ per\ liter \) — Current fuel price in pounds sterling (£)

Explanation: The formula calculates total fuel consumption based on distance and consumption rate, then multiplies by the price per liter to determine total cost.

3. Importance of Fuel Cost Calculation

Details: Accurate fuel cost estimation is crucial for budgeting trips, comparing vehicle efficiency, and planning travel expenses effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter distance in kilometers, consumption in L/100km, and current fuel price in pounds. All values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.
