The maths behind it

This tool uses Fuel per km = L/100 km ÷ 100 × price. True cost per km adds insurance, tax, maintenance and depreciation, then divides by annual distance. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

People compare cars on fuel consumption alone, but once insurance, tax, servicing and depreciation are counted, fuel is often less than half the true cost per kilometre — and depreciation on a newer car frequently exceeds everything else combined.
