Sharing a car for a road trip is one of the cheapest ways to travel — as long as everyone chips in fairly for gas. This splitter turns the distance, your car's MPG, and the pump price into a per-person amount in seconds.

How the split works

Divide the trip distance by your MPG to get the gallons needed, multiply by the price per gallon for the total, then divide evenly by the number of people. For a round trip, enter the full there-and-back distance.

Some groups also split tolls and parking the same way, or have passengers cover gas while the driver covers wear and tear — whatever feels fair for your trip.

Frequently asked questions

How do we split gas for a road trip?

Work out the total gas cost from the distance, the car's MPG, and the pump price, then divide it evenly by the number of people sharing the ride.

Should I enter one-way or round-trip distance?

Enter the full distance you'll drive — for a round trip, that's there and back.

Is it fair to split gas evenly with the driver?

Many groups do, since the driver also provides the car and covers wear and tear. Some have passengers cover gas while the driver covers everything else — whatever the group agrees on.
