10 L/100 km - how much does each kilometer really cost?
Enter consumption, fuel price and annual mileage. The calculator shows the true cost per kilometer - fuel plus insurance and service spread across every km you drive.
A car consuming 10 L/100 km sits right in the range where fuel cost per kilometer varies significantly with price. Enter 10 as your consumption, your local fuel price and annual mileage. The calculator breaks down the cost per kilometer into fuel, insurance and service components - showing the true price of every kilometer, not just the pump receipt.

The problem: you only see what the pump charges
A fill-up receipt shows one number. It does not show insurance premiums, oil changes, tire replacements or brake pads - costs that accumulate silently with every kilometer. A car that burns 7 L/100 km at $1.60/L looks like it costs $0.112/km. Add $1,200 in insurance and $800 in annual maintenance at 15,000 km/year, and the true cost jumps to $0.245/km - more than double. This calculator shows the full picture.
The solution: total cost per kilometer
Enter consumption, fuel price, annual mileage and optionally insurance and service costs. The calculator returns:
What you get:
Fuel cost per km - the visible part
Insurance per km - annual premium divided by distance driven
Service per km - maintenance spread across every kilometer
Total cost per km - all three combined
Distance table - cost for 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500 km trips
Cost comparison by fuel type
Same car class, same 15,000 km/year, same insurance and service. Only fuel type changes.
| Fuel type | Consumption | Price | Fuel/km | Total/km | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gasoline | 7.5 L/100km | $1.60/L | $0.120 | $0.253 | $3,800 |
| Diesel | 5.8 L/100km | $1.70/L | $0.099 | $0.232 | $3,480 |
| LPG | 10.0 L/100km | $0.75/L | $0.075 | $0.208 | $3,120 |
| Electric | 17.0 kWh/100km | $0.12/kWh | $0.020 | $0.154 | $2,307 |
| Hybrid | 4.5 L/100km | $1.60/L | $0.072 | $0.205 | $3,080 |
Why annual mileage changes everything
The formula
Total cost per kilometer:
cost/km = (consumption/100 * price) + (insurance/mileage) + (service/mileage)
consumption = L/100km or kWh/100km | price = per liter or per kWh | mileage = annual km
