How to Use the Fuel Cost & Mileage Calculator

1

Step 1: Enter Your Trip Distance

Enter the distance of your daily commute or road trip in kilometers. For a round trip (e.g., home to work and back), enter the total distance. The calculator uses this to determine fuel consumption.

2

Step 2: Enter Your Car's Fuel Efficiency

Enter your car's fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter (km/L). Check your car's manual or look up the average efficiency online. Typical sedan: 12-16 km/L, SUV: 8-12 km/L.

Step 5: Review Your Fuel Budget

The results show cost per trip, monthly cost, and annual cost. Use this information to budget for transportation expenses and consider efficiency improvements or alternative commuting options.

Understanding Fuel Costs in Saudi Arabia

Fuel costs are a significant expense for car owners in Saudi Arabia. Here's what affects your fuel spending: 1. Fuel Prices: As of 2026, Gasoline 91 costs ~SAR 2.18/L, Gasoline 95 costs ~SAR 2.33/L, and Diesel costs ~SAR 0.60/L. These prices are adjusted quarterly based on global oil prices. 2. Fuel Efficiency (km/L): Your car's fuel efficiency depends on engine size, weight, driving habits, and maintenance. Regular servicing improves efficiency by 5-15%. 3. AC Impact: Air conditioning in Saudi summers can reduce fuel efficiency by 10-20%. Using the car's eco-mode or recirculation setting can help. 4. Driving Conditions: Highway driving is more efficient than city driving with frequent stops. Traffic congestion in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam reduces efficiency significantly. 5. Annual Cost: Even a daily 50 km commute in a sedan can cost SAR 2,700-3,300 annually in fuel. For SUVs, this can exceed SAR 5,000.

Real Example

Daily commute in Riyadh: Trip: Home to Office (one-way 25 km, round trip 50 km) Car: Toyota Camry (sedan), efficiency 14 km/L Fuel: Gasoline 91 at SAR 2.18/L Trips: 26 per month (working days) Cost per Trip: 50 km ÷ 14 km/L × 2.18 = SAR 7.79 Monthly Cost: 7.79 × 26 = SAR 202.54 Annual Cost: 202.54 × 12 = SAR 2,430.48 For a daily commute, expect to spend approximately SAR 200-250 per month on fuel.
