How this calculator works

Baseline litres are distance divided by normalised km/L. Contingency is baseline times the selected percentage. Optional cost uses total planned litres.

Checked example

At 300 km and 15 km/L, baseline fuel is 20 litres. A 10% allowance adds 2 litres.

Assumptions and privacy

All calculations run locally in your browser. WheelMela does not save or transmit calculator inputs. Results depend on your inputs and should be treated as planning estimates.
