Fuel Cost Calculator

Planning a road trip or calculating your commute expenses? This calculator helps you estimate the total fuel cost for any journey. Simply enter the distance, your vehicle's fuel consumption in litres per 100 km, and the current fuel price per litre to get an instant estimate of what the trip will cost in fuel alone.

Fuel Prices in Denmark

Denmark has some of the highest fuel prices in Europe due to energy taxes and VAT. As of recent years, petrol prices typically range from 12 to 15 kr per litre. Diesel is often slightly cheaper. Prices vary between fuel stations, and apps like FDM's benzinpriser or OK's app can help you find the cheapest fuel near you.

Reducing Your Fuel Costs

You can significantly reduce fuel consumption through efficient driving habits. Maintaining a steady speed, avoiding hard acceleration and braking, keeping tyres properly inflated, and removing unnecessary weight from the car can all help. On Danish motorways, driving at 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h can reduce fuel consumption by 15โ€“20%. Consider also whether carpooling or using the efficient Danish rail network might be more economical for longer trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate fuel consumption?

To calculate your car's km/l, first fill up the fuel tank completely and reset the trip meter. Then drive until it's time to refuel. At the next fill-up, note how many litres you add and read the trip meter to see how many kilometres you have driven.

How much fuel do you use per month?

As a rough rule of thumb, expect to spend 800-1,500 kr per month on fuel. If you want to save money on fuel, look for a car with good fuel efficiency (high km per litre).

What does petrol cost per km?

With a petrol price of approximately 13 kr/litre and average consumption of 7 l/100km, fuel alone costs about 0.91 kr per km. The real total cost including depreciation, insurance, and maintenance is typically 3-4 kr per km.
