Price Is Only One Part

Petrol and diesel prices can change, but the fuel price alone does not decide your trip cost. The vehicle average in km per litre is just as important.

A diesel 4x4 may have a different fuel price and average than a petrol sedan, so compare both using the same route distance.

Where Diesel Helps

Diesel vehicles are common for trucks, loaders, and some 4x4 trips because they are built for load and torque. For heavy-load routes, diesel may be practical even if the vehicle uses more litres.

Petrol vehicles are common for bikes and cars, and can be economical when the engine size and driving conditions are suitable.

Budget Tip

Use the latest trusted fuel price in the calculator before a trip. If prices change, update the fuel value and recalculate before finalizing your travel budget.

Calculate This Route
