Calculate trip distance, fuel costs, travel time, and fuel efficiency. Plan your journey with comprehensive mileage calculations including MPG, fuel consumption, and total trip expenses.
This comprehensive mileage calculator helps you plan trips, calculate fuel costs, and analyze vehicle fuel efficiency. Whether you're planning a road trip or tracking your vehicle's performance, this tool provides accurate calculations for distance, fuel consumption, and travel costs.
Use the trip planning feature to estimate costs before traveling, or the fuel efficiency calculator to track your vehicle's actual performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
Where: Distance = trip distance, Efficiency = MPG or km/L, Price = cost per gallon/liter
Where: Distance = miles traveled, Fuel = gallons consumed
Where: Distance = trip distance, Speed = average driving speed
| Vehicle Type | City MPG | Highway MPG | Combined MPG | Fuel Tank Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Driving Habits: Aggressive acceleration and braking can reduce fuel efficiency by 15-30%. Smooth, consistent driving maximizes economy.
Vehicle Speed: Fuel economy typically peaks at 45-55 MPH. Each 5 MPH over 50 MPH reduces efficiency by approximately 7%.
Vehicle Load: Every 100 pounds of extra weight reduces efficiency by about 1-2%. Remove unnecessary items from your vehicle.
Tire Pressure: Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 3%. Check tire pressure monthly and maintain proper inflation.
Trip Planning: Combine errands into one trip and plan efficient routes to minimize total driving distance.
Fuel Price Shopping: Prices can vary by $0.20+ per gallon between stations. Use apps to find the cheapest nearby options.
Vehicle Maintenance: Regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and tune-ups can improve fuel economy by 4-10%.
Driving Techniques: Use cruise control on highways, anticipate traffic flow, and avoid excessive idling to maximize efficiency.

CO2 Emissions: Every gallon of gasoline burned produces approximately 20 pounds of CO2. Improving fuel efficiency reduces environmental impact.
Annual Savings: Improving from 20 MPG to 25 MPG saves about 146 gallons per year for average driving (12,000 miles), reducing CO2 by nearly 3,000 pounds.
