Fuel cost calculator

How it works

Enter fuel use as litres per 100 km, the way most car manuals give it, or as km per litre if that is how you count. A small car uses roughly 5 to 8 litres per 100 km; an SUV or pickup roughly 9 to 14.

The typical price is the median across the fuel companies that changed their price in the last two weeks, collected by CediRates from the companies' own boards. Pump prices change at the National Petroleum Authority's pricing windows on the 1st and 16th of each month.
