Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip in Nigeria?

Fuel cost = distance (km) / 100 x your car's consumption (L/100km) x the fuel price per litre. In Nigeria petrol is around ₦700/litre and diesel about ₦1,100/litre. TripKalc does this automatically for every leg of a multi-stop route.

For an average petrol car (8 L/100km) it is about ₦56 per km. A diesel is roughly ₦71.5 per km and an EV charged at home around ₦40.5 per km.

What currency does the calculator use?

It auto-detects Nigerian users and pre-fills NGN, but you can pick any of 70+ currencies and set your own fuel price.

Does it work for diesel and electric vehicles?

Yes. Switch fuel type to compare petrol, diesel, and electric (kWh/100km at your local electricity rate) side by side.
