Fuel Cost Calculator
Description
Compare the annual cost of fuel for two different cars or two different fuels. There are many different factors that you should consider when buying a car, but with the fuel cost so high these days, you definitely need to consider the long term effects.
Considering a Hybrid? In addition to the fuel cost savings, you will need to consider the initial cost of purchasing the hybrid vehicle and the maintenance costs for each car.
Rising Fuel Prices: We all know that fuel prices change over time (mostly rising), so make sure you take that into account by using this calculator to see how different prices may affect your annual fuel cost.
