Example Calculation
Winter Vacation Trip
Distance: 850 km to home city
Average Speed: 110 km/h
Breaks: 3 × 15 min + 1 hour dinner = 1h 45min
Departure: February 21, 2024 at 10:00 AM
Fuel Efficiency: 9.5 L/100km (SUV)
Fuel Price: $1.22/L
Passengers: 4 friends
Results
Driving Time: 850 ÷ 110 = 7h 43min
Total Trip Time: 7h 43min + 1h 45min = 9h 28min
Arrival Time: February 21, 2024 at 7:28 PM
Fuel Cost: (850 ÷ 100) × 9.5 × $1.22 = $98.52
Cost per Person: $98.52 ÷ 4 = $24.63

Understanding Drive Time Calculations
Basic Formula
Total Time = Distance ÷ Speed + Break Time
This fundamental formula calculates the total time needed for your journey by dividing the distance by your average speed and adding any planned break time.
Factors to Consider
- •Traffic conditions and peak hours
- •Weather conditions affecting speed
- •Road construction and detours
- •Vehicle performance and fuel efficiency
Fuel Cost Formula
Cost = (Distance ÷ 100) × Efficiency × Price
Calculate fuel costs by converting your distance to per-100km units, multiplying by your vehicle's fuel efficiency, and the current fuel price.
Cost Sharing
When traveling with others, divide the total fuel cost by the number of passengers to determine each person's share of the travel expenses.
Safety Note: Plan for regular breaks and avoid driving when tired. Adjust your average speed based on real driving conditions.
