What Does It Burn Per Km?
When you divide the fuel cost by the total kilometers, you reach the traditional data of your vehicle (e.g., "My car burns 3 Lira per kilometer").
Diesel, Gasoline and Vehicle Fuel Cost Calculation
This tool is primarily for Turkey.
How to Use?
1
Enter the Road (Distance) You Will Travel
If you are using it in the city, enter your daily route into the system, and if it is intercity (e.g. 450 km), enter the total length you will travel into the system.
2
100 Km Consumption of the Vehicle
Enter the average consumption value written on your car's trip computer (e.g. 6.5L/100km) into the table.
3
Current Pump Price (TL)
Add the current "1 Liter" sales label price of your fuel (Gasoline/Diesel/LPG) hanging at the petrol station and press the calculate button.
What is this tool for?
Urban & Extra-Urban Difference
In stop-and-go traffic, vehicles cannot shift into high gear, so the 100km factory consumption is up to 30% cheaper out of town (on long roads).
Does Air Conditioning Affect Consumption?
Running car air conditioners at full speed in summer draws from the automobile's engine power and pushes the fuel data up by 5% to 10% (by making it heavier).
What is the Cost Formula?
In logistics, the logic "Total Liters Consumed = (Distance × Consumption) / 100" is solved. Then this Liter value is multiplied by the fuel TL price at the pump.
When should you use this?
Why Is It Important to Calculate Fuel Consumption Cost in Turkey?
Especially with the constant change in fuel pump (Gasoline, Diesel/Gas Oil, Autogas/LPG) prices due to the global stock market (Brent oil) and exchange rates, "turning off the ignition" or "hitting the road" has become a major budget issue. When traveling to your hometown or a different province for university or summer vacation, knowing the question "How much will the round trip cost me?" is essential for everyone who wants to calculate the advantage compared to bus/plane tickets.
Our Fuel Calculator Tool
saves you from doing complex cross-multiplications (confusing zeros) with paper and pen, and shows the "Out-of-pocket TL" amount in seconds on your phone.
Should We Believe Factory (Catalog) Data of Automobiles?
When you look at the brochures in the showrooms of car companies (e.g., Volkswagen, Renault, Fiat), you see utopian (dream-like) figures under each vehicle like Urban Consumption: 4.2 L / Extra-Urban: 3.8 L. You should remember that automotive brands find these values in special test laboratories that are the lightest, windless, and have wonderful asphalt where even the seats and spare tires in the car are removed. If you seat a family of 4 and fill the trunk to the brim with suitcases, you will need to add more (about 1-1.5 Liters) to that catalog data right away.
What Are the Golden Tips for Fuel Saving? (Hypermiling)
"Hypermiling" is the name used in the world for professional drivers who want to travel the longest distance with the least fuel. If you want to pull down the TL figure that appears in our calculator, you can pay attention to these golden rules during your journeys:
Sudden Acceleration (Aggressive Gas):
Raising the vehicle as if it were rearing up (at high RPM) when seeing the green at traffic lights is like sucking the water out of the fuel tank. Make starts calmly, pressing the pedal like cotton.
Tire Pressure Control:
Before hitting the road, if the air pressure of your 4 tires (e.g., 32 PSI) is not at its ideal limit but in a deflated (soft) consistency, the car rubbing extra on the ground will consume a lot of fuel as if it were pulling a caravan behind it.
Windows Open Rules (Speed Limit Issues):
Opening windows while driving on the urban highway is nice for cooling down and is a good alternative to summer air conditioning. But if you open the windows on the highway (at 120 km speed), since wind fills up inside the vehicle like a parachute and pulls the vehicle back, the engine will pump to compensate for the RPM (and consequently the fuel).
The Vital Role of Fuel in Second-Hand Car Choice
Many people fall into that much-loved (How many horsepower is the car? What is the model?) trap when buying a car. However, the actual calculation should be "What will I leave at the repair shop and gas stations after I buy this car?". Generally, heavy body (SUV) type gasoline vehicles have a terrible fuel appetite (up to 10 Liters) in the city. In countries like Turkey where taxes are high and foreign currency is aggressive, the best-selling cars are always C and B segment models (Small engine / Diesel or Hybrid). Today, diesel and eco-friendly hybrid vehicles (Battery supported) are friendly systems that alleviate the bitter picture emerging from the fuel calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every new generation vehicle has a "Vehicle Information / Trip Computer" tab on the steering wheel screen or radio screen. It says (e.g., 5.4L / 100KM) there. If you use an old model, you can find this ratio yourself by filling the tank completely and measuring how many km you traveled (with manual liter detection).
You can do it without problems. Your fuel type (Diesel, Gasoline, or LPG) is irrelevant for the mathematical formula. Just enter the LITERS burned by the vehicle and the TL price of the FUEL you purchased. It will give the remaining calculation in the same way.
If you go above 120-130 km/h speeds on the highway and push the limits, since wind resistance (aerodynamic friction) multiplies, the vehicle turns RPM to obtain more power and causes the factory data (e.g., a car saying 5 liters) to go up to 7.5 liters.
Yes. Winter tires have soft compound and deep (vacuum) treads that hold the ground like a tick. Since sticking to the road (friction area) is more than normal, the engine exerts a bit more effort, which has a positive effect on fuel (as a cost increase).
