Tools for Travelers

High gasoline prices are prompting Americans to plan more before they travel. In addition to planning your route with the AAA Drive Trips itineraries or TripTik® travel planner, plan your budget with AAA's quick and easy online Fuel Cost Calculator. Visit the Fuel Cost Calculator to estimate your fuel expense for a specific driving trip. Just enter your starting and end points and either your vehicle make, year, and model or estimated miles per gallon. Use the results to prepare a travel budget or to compare the costs of driving your own vehicles versus a rental car.

While your actual mileage and fuel prices may vary, the calculator provides a solid estimate based on current prices from AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report and the latest highway fuel economy ratings from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These Trip Planning Tools: AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report; AAA Fuel Cost Calculator and the AAA Gas Watcher's Guide will help you save fuel as well as reduce hassles.
