Range Formula:
From: | To: |
Full tank range calculation determines how far a vehicle can travel on a full tank of fuel based on its fuel efficiency (mileage) and tank capacity. This helps in trip planning and fuel management.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: Multiplying the tank capacity by the vehicle's mileage gives the total distance the vehicle can travel on a full tank of fuel.
Details: Knowing your vehicle's range helps in planning long trips, ensuring you don't run out of fuel in remote areas, and managing refueling stops efficiently.
Tips: Enter tank capacity in liters and mileage in km/L. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.
Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation provides an estimate based on ideal conditions. Actual range may vary due to driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle load.
Q2: What if my mileage is in different units?
A: Convert your mileage to km/L before using the calculator. For example, if you have miles per gallon, convert to km/L using appropriate conversion factors.
Q3: Does this account for reserve fuel?
A: No, this calculation assumes you can use the entire tank capacity. Most vehicles have a small reserve beyond the "empty" mark that isn't included.
Q4: Why is my actual range different from calculated?
A: Factors like driving speed, terrain, traffic conditions, AC usage, and vehicle maintenance can affect actual fuel efficiency.
Q5: Can I use this for electric vehicles?
A: This calculator is designed for fuel-based vehicles. For EVs, you would need battery capacity and efficiency data in kWh/km.
