Pro Tips for Fuel Planning
Use Real-World MPG
Manufacturer MPG is often 10-20% higher than real-world. Calculate your actual MPG from a few fill-ups for accurate estimates.
Check Gas Prices Along Route
Gas prices vary significantly by location. Plan fill-ups in cheaper areas - GasBuddy shows prices along your route.
Account for Conditions
Cold weather, heavy loads, AC, and mountain driving reduce MPG. Add 10-20% to your estimate for adverse conditions.
Include All Costs
For true trip cost, add tolls, parking, food, and lodging. Fuel is often only 30-40% of total road trip expenses.
