Road trip gas calculator — the whole trip, and what each person chips in
Short answer. Put in the miles, your car's mpg and the gas price, then tolls, motel nights and food: you see the gallons, the gas cost, the trip total and each person's share. Gas: miles ÷ miles per gallon × price per gallon (How the calculator counts).
- Book the motel with free cancellation — two weeks beforetype the date
- Check tires, oil and wipers — the weekend beforetype the date
Check your own case.

Your road trip — gas, tolls, motels, food and each person's share
Put in the miles, your car's mpg and the gas price, then tolls, motel nights and food: you see the gallons, the gas cost, the trip total and each person's share. No sign-up.
- Check today's gas price on your route — EIA shows weekly regional averages.
- Agree on how to split before you leave.
- Set up toll accounts for cashless toll roads.
Arithmetic only: gallons = miles × (1 or 2) ÷ mpg; gas = gallons × price; total = gas + tolls + nights × price + food × people × days; each person = total ÷ people. Not a quote.

Tell me the miles, your mpg and the gas price, and I will show the trip cost and each person's share.
The Excel file keeps a fill-up log for the road.
Deadlines
The rules, with the source
| What | Deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | Miles ÷ miles per gallon × price per gallon | How the calculator counts |
| Fuel economy | EPA ratings for your make, model and year on fueleconomy.gov; real trips are often lower with a full car | fueleconomy.gov (DOE/EPA) |
| Gas prices | EIA publishes weekly U.S. and regional retail gasoline prices | U.S. Energy Information Administration |
| Split | The whole trip divided equally between the people you enter | How the calculator counts |
Gas prices change daily: put in today's price where you will fill up. Many toll roads are cashless and bill by license plate.
Step by step

Miles one way and whether you drive back.
2
Add the car and the price
Highway mpg and the gas price per gallon.
3
Add the rest and split
Tolls, motel nights, food — and how many share the cost.
Questions
How do I calculate gas cost for a road trip?
Divide the miles by your car's miles per gallon to get gallons, then multiply by the price per gallon. 1,300 miles at 33 mpg is about 39.4 gallons; at $3.05 a gallon that is about $120.
What mpg should I use?
Your car's highway rating from fueleconomy.gov, a bit lower if the car is full or you drive fast. Your trip computer's average is even better.
How do we split gas money fairly?
Most groups split the car costs equally between everyone riding. If each person pays their own food, set food to 0 and split only gas, tolls and lodging.
Does it include tolls?
Yes, as one amount for the trip. Check each state's toll agency — many roads bill by plate.
Is it free? Do I need to sign up?
