The Traditional Way of Calculating Fuel Cost

Traditionally, you'd have to know your car's fuel efficiency (often expressed in miles per gallon or liters per 100km), and then do a bit of math, factoring in the distance you'll travel. Let's not forget the varying fuel prices across different states or countries!

It's time-consuming and often leaves room for error, which is the last thing you need when planning a trip.
