Worked example (no JavaScript needed)
For a standard sedan consuming 8.0 litres per 100 km on Special 95 (3.49 AED/L):
- One-way (140 km): 140 × 8.0 ÷ 100 = 11.2 litres. 11.2 × 3.49 AED = 39.09 AED.
- Round trip (280 km): 280 × 8.0 ÷ 100 = 22.4 litres. 22.4 × 3.49 AED = 78.18 AED.
- Super 98 (3.60 AED/L): One-way costs 40.32 AED; round trip costs 80.64 AED.
Route Notes: E11 Highway Driving
The speed limit on the E11 transitions from 120 km/h in Dubai (with a 20 km/h grace buffer up to 140 km/h) to 140 km/h in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (with no buffer; the posted speed is the maximum). Cruising at 140 km/h requires extra fuel compared to 100 km/h. If your car display shows consumption in km/L, convert it by dividing 100 by your km/L figure (e.g. 12.5 km/L = 8.0 L/100 km).
