❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does highway percentage affect fuel cost?
Highway driving gives ~15% better mileage due to constant speed and less braking. City driving with traffic, signals, and idling reduces mileage by ~20%. The calculator adjusts your car's mileage based on the highway/city ratio you select.
2. How is the "Per Person" cost calculated?
The total trip cost is divided by 4 persons (standard family/group size). This gives you a fair idea of how much each person needs to contribute if you're sharing expenses.
3. Should I include return journey distance?
Yes! For a complete trip budget, enter the total round-trip distance. For example, if your destination is 500 km away, enter 1000 km to include both onward and return journeys.
4. Can I use this calculator for bike trips too?
Absolutely! Just enter your bike's mileage (e.g., 40-60 km/L for commuter bikes, 25-35 km/L for sports bikes) and adjust food/stay costs accordingly. The calculator works for any vehicle type.
