Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my real-world cost higher than the calculated one?

Real-world cost can be affected by traffic, AC usage, tire pressure, and driving style, all of which can lower your actual mileage compared to the manufacturer's rating.

Is maintenance included in this calculation?

No, this tool specifically calculates the fuel running cost. Maintenance, insurance, and depreciation are separate expenses that contribute to the total cost of ownership.

How do I calculate cost for an Electric Vehicle (EV)?
