-fuel used
-cost per person

Plan the fuel budget for a road trip and split it fairly among everyone in the car. Enter the total distance, your vehicle fuel economy, and the price of fuel, then set how many people are sharing the cost. This calculator returns the total fuel spend, the gallons or liters you will burn, and the amount each passenger owes if you divide it evenly. It handles both US units and metric units so it works for a cross country drive or a trip through Europe. Knowing the number up front makes it easy to collect money before you leave, compare the drive against flights or trains, and decide whether a detour is worth the extra fuel. All figures are calculated locally in your browser, so none of your trip details are uploaded anywhere.
