How Regional Fuel Price Comparison Tool Works
This tool works by pricing the same fuel volume at several regional prices and ranking the regions from cheapest to most expensive.
- Step 1
Select regions
Pick states, provinces, cities, or countries to compare.
- Step 2
Enter regional prices
Type the current average price per gallon or liter for each region.
- Step 3
Enter fuel volume
Type a tank size or monthly fuel use.
- Step 4
Compare costs
The tool shows cost per fill, cost per month, and the gap from the cheapest region.
Regional Fuel Price Comparison Tool Formula
The formula multiplies one fuel volume by each regional price.
Regional Cost = Fuel Volume × Regional Price
Gap to Cheapest = Regional Cost − Lowest Regional Cost
- Regional Price
- = average fuel price in one region
- Fuel Volume
- = gallons or liters compared, such as one tank or one month
Worked Example
- A driver compares 4 regions with sample prices for 45 gallons (170 liters) per month.
- Region A at $2.95 = $132.75. Region B at $3.15 = $141.75.
- Region C at $3.40 = $153.00. Region D at $4.85 = $218.25.
- The most expensive region costs $85.50 more per month than the cheapest.
