How to Calculate Driving Distance Matrix Step-by-Step
- 1Enter route distance.
- 2Set expected average speed.
- 3Add MPG and fuel price for cost estimates.
Governing formula
Result = f(Dis, Avg, Mpg, Gas)
Estimate drive time and fuel use between distance and average speed. Plan multi-stop driving days. Trip and vehicle estimates depend on the efficiency and price assumptions you enter.
Example: set Distance (miles) = 180, Average Speed (mph) = 55, MPG = 28, then read the result.
