Petrol Cost Calculator India – Calculate Fuel Cost per Trip

Introduction – A quick story for you, A few months ago, a good friend of ours, Mr Rohit, planned a road trip from road trip from Delhi to Rishikesh with his family.

He packed bags, booked a stay, and set off with his Maruti Baleno Petrol (fuel type), but halfway through the trip, a reality check hit him — he had not planned fuel costs at all.

When toll booths and petrol stops started piling up the expenses, he realised the trip was going to be far costlier than he thought. At one point, he even said, “If it is a CNG Car or EV Car, I can save a lot”

That moment, I feel – this is not just Rohit’s problem, almost every indian driver asks the same thing before any trip –

Is Petrol cheap or CNG?
My car gives 10 kmpl mileage. How much petrol do I need for the trip?

That’s why we created the Ease Petrol Cost Calculator — free, India-first, and no logins or downloads needed.

What Do You Mean by Petrol Cost in India?

The petrol cost is not just the price you have to pay per litre. But in real life, it means how much you are spending every kilometre to drive your car, bike, and other vehicles. It works whether it’s a quick office commute, a weekend getaway, or a daily school drop-off.

In India, where Petrol prices vary by city, due to state tax, and multiple factors, as per the News18 Report on May 31, 2025, Crude Oil Prices, exchange rates, and Refining Costs are the Key Factors Influencing Fuel Prices in India.

Also, fuel cost depends on car mileage differs across brands, and fuel types include petrol, diesel, CNG, and now electric – knowing your exact cost per km or trip is no longer optional. It’s smart planning.

How Does Petrol Cost per Km Work?

The typical formula to calculate petrol cost is quite simple, you can use a pen and paper and use this formula on notebook to find –

Petrol Cost Formula = Distance (km) ÷ Mileage (km/l) × Fuel Price (₹/l)

But reality is different, real life isn’t basic. You also have to think about:

Toll charges
Extra charges like parking, or AC usage in summer
Custom city prices (not every city matches the national average)
Actual vs ARAI claimed mileage (because that brochure number is never real!)

Here are the Components and Factors That Affect the Cost of your trip

Factor	Description
Fuel Type	Petrol, Diesel, CNG, EV – each has a different per-km cost
Petrol, Diesel, CNG, EV – each has a different per-km cost	Petrol in Mumbai costs more than in Chandigarh or Noida
Car Type	Hatchbacks are more fuel-efficient than SUVs
Traffic Conditions	City traffic eats more fuel than highway cruising
AC Usage	Affects mileage by 5–10%
Driving Style	Aggressive driving = lower mileage
Toll Roads	Adds to total cost, especially on highways
Distance Travelled	Longer trips may offer better mileage than daily short runs

Example: Fuel Cost Table (100 km Trip)

Let’s assume fuel prices in Delhi:

Fuel Type	Price/litre	Mileage (km/l or equivalent)	Total Fuel Cost
Petrol	₹96.72	15 km/l	₹645
Diesel	₹89.62	20 km/l	₹448
CNG	₹76.00	28 km/kg	₹271
