FAQ: Fuel Cost Split Calculator
1. How does this calculator work?
It estimates total fuel cost as (distance / MPG) × gas price, then splits it by number of people.
2. What units are used?
Miles for distance, MPG for efficiency, and dollars per gallon for gas price—standard in the USA.
3. Can I use it for electric vehicles?
For EVs, enter "MPG" as miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) and "gas price" as electricity cost per "gallon" equivalent.
4. Does it include tolls or other costs?
No, this is fuel-only. Add other costs manually or use our full Travel Cost Calculator.
5. How accurate is the estimate?
It's based on averages. Actual costs vary with driving conditions, vehicle efficiency, and gas prices.
6. What if the split is uneven?
The tool assumes equal split. Adjust manually for different contributions.
7. Is my data private?
Yes, calculations are performed in your browser—no data is stored or sent.
