Fuel Consumption Calculator
Usage Instructions:
Objective: Calculate the fuel consumption of your vehicle.
Steps:
- Enter Distance Traveled: Input the distance traveled in kilometers.
- Enter Fuel Used: Input the amount of fuel used in liters.
- Click the "Calculate" Button: After entering the distance and fuel, click the "Calculate" button to get the fuel consumption.
- View the Result: The fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers will be displayed in the results section.
Purpose: Fuel consumption measures how much fuel a vehicle uses over a certain distance. It helps you understand your vehicle’s efficiency and plan your fuel budget.
How to Calculate Fuel Consumption
- Gather Information:
- Distance Traveled: The total distance traveled, measured in kilometers or miles.
- Fuel Used: The amount of fuel consumed during that distance, measured in liters or gallons.
- Calculate Fuel Consumption:
- For Metric Units:
- Fuel Consumption (liters per 100 kilometers) = (Fuel Used (liters) / Distance Traveled (kilometers)) × 100
- For Imperial Units:
- Fuel Consumption (miles per gallon) = Distance Traveled (miles) / Fuel Used (gallons)
- For Metric Units:
Example Calculations
1. Metric Units
- Example:
- Distance Traveled: 500 kilometers
- Fuel Used: 40 liters
- Calculation:
- Fuel Consumption = (40 / 500) × 100 = 8 liters per 100 kilometers
2. Imperial Units
- Example:
- Distance Traveled: 300 miles
- Fuel Used: 15 gallons
- Calculation:
- Fuel Consumption = 300 / 15 = 20 miles per gallon
Quick Reference Table
Here’s a table to help visualize fuel consumption for various distances and fuel used:
| Distance Traveled (km) | Fuel Used (liters) | Fuel Consumption (L/100 km) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 5 | 5 |
| 200 | 12 | 6 |
| 300 | 18 | 6 |
| 400 | 28 | 7 |
| Distance Traveled (miles) | Fuel Used (gallons) | Fuel Consumption (mpg) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 5 | 20 |
| 200 | 10 | 20 |
| 300 | 15 | 20 |
| 400 | 20 | 20 |
Why Calculate Fuel Consumption?
- Budgeting: Helps estimate how much you’ll spend on fuel for trips.
