Worked example for Kolkata

Kolkata to Digha on the Bay of Bengal coast is about 370 km there and back. A petrol car that does 15 km per litre uses 24.7 litres, which costs ₹2,800 at ₹113.51. Split 4 ways it is ₹700 each. The same distance in a diesel car with the same mileage would cost ₹2,462. Tolls are extra.

Kolkata's yellow taxis, app cabs and buses mix CNG, diesel and petrol, while many two-wheelers do 40 to 60 km a litre. Enter your own vehicle's real mileage to get a useful number rather than the default.

Weekend trips from Kolkata to Shantiniketan, Mandarmani or Sundarbans jetties are popular, and long stretches of the route are on national highways where tolls apply. The calculator covers fuel only, so add tolls and parking separately.

Because petrol is ₹13.69 a litre dearer than diesel in Kolkata, a diesel car pays back faster here than in most cities if you drive long distances. Run the same trip twice, once at each price, and look at the per-km cost.

During monsoon waterlogging, slow traffic can cut mileage sharply. A full-tank-to-full-tank check across a month gives a realistic figure to type in.
