The Italian car fuel cost comparison calculator estimates Italian annual cost per kilometer comparing Italian petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG and electric. Base formula: Annual cost = Km/100 * Consumption (L or kg or kWh) * Italian fuel price. Italian average prices 2026 (Italian MIMIT weekly bulletin): Italian petrol 1.75 €/L (E5/E10, motorway +0.15 €/L), Italian diesel 1.68 €/L (Italian diesel B7, Italian diesel below petrol due to 2024 Italian excise realignment decree); Italian LPG 0.75 €/L (5,000 Italian distributors); Italian CNG methane 1.40 €/kg (1,500 Italian distributors, Italian EU leader); Italian electric 0.30 €/kWh home, 0.20 €/kWh F3 night tariff, 0.55-0.80 €/kWh Italian fast public columns (Italian Enel X-Way, Be Charge, Free To X). Italian example: 15,000 km/year Italian car 6.5 L/100km Italian petrol = 975 L * 1.75 = 1,706 €/year. Same Italian car diesel 5 L/100km = 750 L * 1.68 = 1,260 €/year (-26%). Italian LPG 8 L/100km = 1,200 L * 0.75 = 900 €/year (-47%). Italian CNG 4 kg/100km = 600 kg * 1.40 = 840 €/year (-51%). Italian electric 15 kWh/100km (BEV) = 2,250 kWh * 0.30 = 675 €/year home (-60% vs petrol). Italian fuel market 50 billion €/year (Italian Confindustria Energia 2024).

Italian calculation formula

Italian calculation in 6 steps:

• Step 1 - Italian annual km: 5,000-50,000 km/year (Italian average 12,000-15,000 ISTAT)
• Step 2 - Italian consumption per 100 km: Italian petrol 5-9 L, diesel 4-7 L, LPG 6-11 L (+25%), CNG 3-5 kg, electric 13-20 kWh
• Step 3 - Italian fuel price: Italian MIMIT weekly (Rome 1.72, Milan 1.75, Naples 1.70 petrol average, motorway +0.15)
• Step 4 - Italian annual cost: km/100 * consumption * price (15,000/100 * 6.5 * 1.75 = 1,706 €/year petrol)
• Step 5 - Italian fixed costs: Regional Italian tax 100-300 €/year (BEV 5-year exempt), Italian insurance 400-1,200 €/year, Italian maintenance 200-500 €/year (BEV -50%)
• Step 6 - Italian cost per km: Italian petrol 11.4 c€/km, diesel 8.4, LPG 6, CNG 5.6, electric home 4.5

Italian example: 15,000 km/year Italian Milan family. Italian petrol (Italian Fiat Panda 6.5 L/100km): 1,706 €/year. Italian diesel (Italian Fiat 500X 5 L/100km): 1,260 €/year (-446 €). Italian LPG (Italian Dacia Sandero 8 L/100km): 900 €/year (-806 €). Italian CNG (Italian Fiat Panda Natural Power 4 kg/100km): 840 €/year (-866 €). Italian electric home (Italian Fiat 500e 15 kWh/100km): 675 €/year (-1,031 €). Italian 10-year cumulative electric savings: 10,310 €. Italian payback BEV vs petrol surcharge 5,000-8,000 €: 5-8 years.
