About this tool
Fuel stops follow from trip distance and how far a full tank takes you. This calculator divides the trip by tank range and rounds up, so you stop before running dry. Keep a reserve in remote areas and do not trust the last bar of the gauge.
Frequently asked questions
Should I trust the stated range exactly?
No. Hills, speed, load, and weather all shorten range, so plan stops a little earlier than the maths suggests.
What about electric trips?
Use the EV range and charging tools instead, since charging time and charger locations change the plan.
