Distinguish US and imperial volume conventions, round-trip distance, fuel-only contingency and fixed expenses without hiding the split between fuel cost and total trip cost.

For L/100 km, fuel liters equal total kilometers times consumption divided by 100. For km/L, divide kilometers by efficiency. MPG uses miles divided by MPG and the selected US or imperial gallon conversion.
Yes. One US gallon is 3.785411784 liters and one imperial gallon is 4.54609 liters. MPG and fuel-price volume conventions are chosen independently, then normalized before pricing.
It doubles the entered one-way distance. Optional additional distance is a trip-total allowance and is added afterward, so it is not doubled again.
Fuel cost, the chosen fuel-cost contingency, tolls and parking. Contingency is applied only to fuel. Fuel-only cost and total trip cost are shown separately, then total cost is divided by the number of people sharing the trip.
Yes. With no additional distance it requires no fuel and has zero fuel cost, but entered fixed tolls or parking can still create a total cost. Cost per distance is undefined when total distance is zero.
No. Enter a fuel price and its volume unit yourself. Currency is a short display label, not an exchange-rate instruction. No external fuel-price or processing service receives the inputs.
