Enter reserved fuel in L.
L/100 km
Enter consumption in L/100 km.

Formula

range=(available−reserve)/consumption × 100.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Constant consumption estimate; terrain, temperature, speed and unusable tank volume can change range.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Fuel available: 50 L
  • Reserved fuel: 5 L
  • Consumption: 6 L/100 km

50 L available, 5 L reserve and 6 L/100 km yield 750 km.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter fuel available, reserved fuel, consumption. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

range=(available−reserve)/consumption × 100.. Constant consumption estimate; terrain, temperature, speed and unusable tank volume can change range.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
