Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is the cost calculated?

We take the exact driving distance provided by OpenStreetMap, divide it by your vehicle's fuel efficiency, and multiply by the local gas price you enter. We then add any optional wear-and-tear costs you select.

What is "Wear & Tear"?

Driving puts stress on your car. The "Wear & Tear" option adds a small fee per mile/km (based on standard tax deduction rates) to account for tire replacement, oil changes, and general maintenance.

How do I convert MPG to L/100km?

You don't have to! Simply select your currency at the top (e.g., switch to Euros), and the tool will automatically change the input fields to accept Liters per 100km instead of MPG.
