Road trip planning tips.
How much does a road trip cost per km in India?
At ₹96/litre petrol and 15 km/l, fuel costs about ₹6.4 per km. Add ₹1.5–2.5/km for tyre wear, oil, and general upkeep, and total running cost lands around ₹8–9/km for a typical hatchback or sedan.
When should I refuel during a road trip?
Refuel when your tank drops to the 1/4-full mark. Waiting until nearly empty creates range anxiety, and in rural stretches of highway, fuel pumps can be 40-60 km apart.
Is driving or flying cheaper for a road trip in India?
For 1-2 people over 800+ km, flying often works out cheaper once you factor in time, hotels, and food. For 3 or more people, or families, driving is usually the cheaper option, especially on well-connected highways.
