Work out your bike or car’s real mileage and monthly petrol cost with your own numbers. The calculator fills in the latest petrol or diesel price we have recorded, shows the date it comes from, and lets you change it to match the pump.
Fuel prices in Pakistan change often, so always check the date shown under the price field. If it is old, type today’s price.
Fill the tank, reset the trip meter, ride as usual, then fill the tank again. Enter the distance and the litres it took to refill.
Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored. Results are estimates from the numbers you enter.
How to measure your real mileage (full-tank method)
- Fill the tank to the brim and reset the trip meter to zero.
- Ride or drive as you normally do until the tank is about half empty or lower.
- Fill the tank to the brim again at the same pump, and note the litres added and the distance on the trip meter.
- Enter both numbers in the "Mileage (full tank)" tab above.
Repeat this over two or three tanks and average the results. One tank can be misleading if the pump stopped early or the route was unusual. Planning a long drive? Try our trip fuel cost calculator. To add fuel to your instalment, insurance and servicing, use our vehicle ownership cost calculator. Know your mileage in another unit? Convert it with our fuel economy converter.
The formulas the calculator uses
- Mileage (km per litre) = distance in km ÷ litres used
- Litres used per month = monthly distance ÷ mileage
- Monthly fuel cost = litres used × price per litre
- Cost per km = price per litre ÷ mileage
What affects your mileage
Real mileage depends on traffic, speed, load, tyre pressure, servicing, riding or driving style and the condition of the engine. A figure measured in one city or season may not match another. This tool does not know your vehicle's mileage, so it never assumes one: it only does the arithmetic on what you enter.
What this calculator does not include
- Token tax, insurance, servicing, repairs or tyres. Estimate some of those with our vehicle token tax calculator and vehicle insurance and takaful calculator.
- The cost of the vehicle itself. For a car loan, try our car instalment calculator.
- Any tax or fee on fuel beyond the pump price you enter.
Thinking of buying a Honda?
Atlas Honda's model pages do not state a fuel economy figure, so use your own measurement, or ask owners of the same model. See the listed prices and specifications in our Honda bike prices in Pakistan guide, and compare CD 70 vs Pridor, CG 125 vs CB 125F and CG 150 vs CB 150F. If you are looking at electric, see the Honda ICON e: and our electric bike price list. Compare running costs with our electric vs petrol bike running cost calculator.
Petrol cost calculator FAQs
How do I calculate petrol cost per month?
Divide your monthly distance by your mileage to get litres, then multiply by the price per litre. The "Running cost" tab does this for you.
What mileage should I enter?
Use your own measured figure from the full-tank method. We do not suggest a mileage for any model.
Where does the petrol price come from?
The petrol price comes from the Pakistan State Oil (PSO) fuel prices page, and the regular diesel price comes from a news report of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) notification. The tool shows the date. Pump prices can differ, so you can edit the field.
Is my data stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to our servers.
Can I compare a petrol and a diesel vehicle?
Yes, but the price field applies to both vehicles in the comparison tab. Calculate each vehicle's cost separately in the "Running cost" tab with the right fuel selected.
