How to use Fuel Calculator for decide between ethanol and gasoline at the station
Shows the relationship between prices and estimated cost with reported actual consumption.
- Review Gasoline price (R$/L), Ethanol price (R$/L) and Gasoline consumption (km/L) before comparing scenarios with the calculator.
- Use the estimated cost of each fuel as the primary reading for the route entered.
- Apply the 70% rule without adjusting the car's actual consumption.
decide between ethanol and gasoline at the station
Compare ethanol and gasoline and estimate the fuel cost of a trip. Useful for making decisions at the gas station, planning a short trip and comparing the cost per kilometer with the vehicle's actual consumption.
Recommended inputs: Gasoline: R$6.00/L, Ethanol: R$ 4.00/L, Gasoline consumption: 12 km/L, Ethanol consumption: 8 km/L and Distance: 120 km
Expected reading: The panel shows the same estimated cost for both fuels in this scenario.
Although ethanol accounts for 66.67% of gasoline, reported consumption also needs to be included in the comparison.
