What the calculation uses · petrol · 1501–2000 cm³
Travel time is an estimate: it assumes free-flowing traffic, with no congestion and no traffic lights. Fuel is calculated with the statutory petrol · 1501–2000 cm³ consumption figure (9.5 l/100 km, 60/1992. (IV. 1.) Korm. rendelet 4. § (2)–(3)) and the Hungarian tax authority's price for August 2026 (HUF 580/l). Your actual consumption will differ. The vignette price is counted for ONE trip, although it is valid for 10 days: the cost is spread across several trips. The comparison above already takes frequency into account.
