🧠 How to Calculate Road Trip Expenses
✅ Fuel Formula:
Fuel Cost = (Total Distance ÷ Vehicle Mileage) × Fuel Price per Litre/Gallon
📘 Example:
- Trip Distance: 1,000 km
- Car Mileage: 15 km/l
- Fuel Price: ₹100/litre
Fuel Cost = (1000 ÷ 15) × 100 = ₹6,667
Now add hotel, meals, tolls, etc., to get total trip cost.
