Check Whether Cheaper Fuel Pays for the Detour
The station with the lower board price is not always the cheaper fill-up once the detour burns fuel of its own. One receipt line: purchase saving on the litres you buy, minus the fuel the extra kilometres consume.

HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE — checkout unavailable. Calculation is local. A draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available; Reset to sample clears it. Optional Pro history stores only five summaries and has its own deletion control. State links encode your inputs and can remain in browser history, clipboard or recipients’ records; share only non-sensitive rows. Optional external AI formatting leaves this device. The required site analytics beacon reports page activity; shared URLs contain encoded inputs. Do not treat an encoded URL as private. The calculator has no input-collection endpoint.
Data note: The fuel-detour receipt processes Option code | price A per litre | price B per litre | extra round-trip km | economy km per litre locally. Starter/sample selection and Run compute in this tab; no input is sent by the calculator. A local draft may be saved; explicit state-link sharing or optional external AI formatting can disclose inputs. Use non-sensitive labels.
Perspective: Before: the lower board price looked like free money. After: the receipt shows the purchase saving minus the fuel the detour itself consumes.

Paid layer: fuel-detour receipt filing layer
one-time step · the free reading above stays complete
Free tier
- one complete unwatermarked fuel-detour receipt run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link
What $4 one-time adds
- unlimited subsequent fuel-detour receipt app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the fuel-detour receipt with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed net currency units and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE: $4 is a proposed one-time price for filing the fuel-detour receipt, not a current sales offer. No measured time saving or buyer demand is claimed. The optional manual-retyping baseline above estimates one export’s retyping budget only; it does not change the calculation or guarantee savings.

- Method: Extra round-trip km means the distance added versus the route you would otherwise drive; a station that is merely nearby but not on your path can still add kilometres. Economy should reflect the stop-start or extra-urban character of the detour, taken from your own records. Multiply them together only inside the formula: (km ÷ km/L) × destination price.
- All sample records, dates, quantities and labels are invented. No outside policy, contract, rate, clock offset, measurement or accessibility standard is represented as verified.
- Google’s official pricing documentation, fetched 2026-10-01, says AI Studio is free in available regions. Optional formatting may require a Google account; manual local entry requires none. Limits can change and free-tier content may be used to improve products. Do not send private records.

Optional AI formatting, never the calculation
Manual entry completes this fuel-detour receipt for free without signup. If available to you, the free AI Studio interface linked in the sources may format fictional or non-sensitive notes; external access may require an account. No API key or AI call is built into this tool. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Review each cell and transcribe it to the labeled row schema; do not paste the JSON object into the row box.
Format only these fictional or non-sensitive notes for a fuel-detour receipt. Return strict JSON shaped as {"rows": [{"label": "string", "cells": ["string", "string", "string", "string"]}], "setting": "string"}. The columns are Option code | price A per litre | price B per litre | extra round-trip km | economy km per litre; the setting is Litres to buy at the pump (same in both places). Keep all supplied strings and quantities exactly; do not calculate, infer missing entries, invent dates or add advice. If any required value is missing, return an empty rows array and ask me for it separately. I will verify every cell against my source and manually transcribe rows using vertical bars before running the local calculator.An AI response is not executed, fetched or trusted as a result. Missing values remain questions; the strict local parser checks the rows you actually enter.
