Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the calculator?
The calculator provides estimates based on standard fuel consumption patterns and factors like AC usage and cargo weight. Actual costs may vary depending on driving conditions, weather, and vehicle maintenance.
Why does cargo weight affect fuel consumption?
Additional weight increases the engine's workload, requiring more fuel to maintain speed. Our calculator estimates a 2% increase in fuel consumption per 100kg of cargo.
How is the AC impact calculated?
Air conditioning can increase fuel consumption by up to 10%. The calculator adjusts this impact based on your selected AC usage percentage, with 100% usage representing the maximum 10% increase.
