Useful details

Choose a country for sensible currency and unit defaults; currency can be overridden. Country changes clear numeric inputs to avoid reinterpreting them in new units. Fuel needed is multiplied by the price per litre, US gallon or Imperial gallon. One US gallon is 3.785411784 litres and one Imperial gallon is 4.54609 litres; one mile is 1.609344 kilometres. Include both directions for a return trip. Traffic, weather and driving conditions can change actual consumption. Tolls and parking are not included.
