Fuel Economy Calculator

Ever wonder just how many kilometres (or miles) to the litre (or gallon, or Imperial gallon) your trusty 4X4 is getting--and how much it costs to drive a certain distance? If you have, check out the nifty Fuel Economy Calculator on Natural Resource Canada's website.

If you know how far you've driven on a measured amount of fuel, it will calculate the rest for you and display it on the page:

Fuel Cost
$1.37/litre

Distance travelled
467.5 km
290.5 miles

Fuel Amount
62 litres
16.38 US gallons
13.64 Imperial gallons

Cost of Fuel
$0.02 per litre
$0.08 per US gallon
$0.1 per Imperial gallon

Fuel Economy
13.26 litres per 100 km
17.73 miles per US gallon
21.3 miles per Imperial gallon

Mileage Costs
0.293 ¢ents per km
0.47 ¢ents per mile

As I said, pretty nifty. Check the site: Fuel Consumption Calculator

(By the way, these figures are based on a recent highway mileage test I performed in a fully loaded 1986 Landcruiser HJ60 diesel running 4" of lift over stock on 33" BFG AT tires).
