Formula used
Range in km = available litres ÷ consumption in L/100km × 100.
Worked example
45 litres at 7.5 L/100km gives an estimated 600 km. Holding back 5 litres leaves 533.33 km from 40 usable litres.
What the result means
Enter usable fuel after your reserve. The result is not a guarantee that the vehicle will reach a destination.
