8 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 8 L/100 km sits right in the range where fuel cost per kilometer varies significantly with price. Enter 8 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
