Frequently Asked Questions
Does highway or city driving affect this estimate?
Yes — your vehicle's MPG rating typically differs between city and highway driving, so use whichever rating (or a blended average) best matches the type of driving for your specific trip.
Should I add a buffer for traffic or detours?
It's reasonable to add 5-10% to your estimated fuel cost for unexpected detours, traffic-related idling, or running the AC/heat heavily, especially on longer trips.
How can I find my vehicle's real-world MPG?
Track your actual fuel fill-ups and odometer readings over a few tanks, or check your vehicle's onboard trip computer — real-world MPG often differs somewhat from the EPA-rated figure depending on driving conditions and habits.
