Canada vehicle economy and fuel costs
Use the pump price in Canadian dollars per litre. If a sign shows cents per litre, divide by 100 first: 160 cents means CAD 1.60/L. Winter conditions and short trips can change your actual consumption, so compare the reference with several full-tank refills.

Calculate a Canadian commute using L/100 km
Natural Resources Canada's L/100 km rating tells you how many litres a vehicle uses to travel 100 kilometres; a smaller figure means less fuel. Choose the right body style, model year and gasoline or hybrid version before comparing figures.
Illustrative example: 100 km at 7 L/100 km uses 7 litres. At CAD 1.60 per litre the cost is CAD 11.20. A 30-km return trip across 22 workdays costs CAD 73.92 with those same assumptions. Convert prices in cents per litre to dollars before entering them.
Cold weather, short trips and winter tyres can affect real consumption. Compare Civic variants and enter your own fuel price.
