Generator Fuel Cost Check

How much will it cost to run your generator?

Enter the fuel consumption shown in your generator manual or based on a measured test. This is a simple estimate.

ESTIMATED FUEL USED
2.25 L
ESTIMATED RUNNING COST
R54.00
ESTIMATED ELECTRICAL ENERGY PRODUCED
3.00 kWh
ESTIMATED FUEL COST PER kWh
R18.00/kWh

Remember: Use the average power actually supplied to appliances, not the generator’s advertised maximum rating. Fuel consumption varies with load and generator conditions. The result is an estimate, not generator sizing advice.

Safety first: Never operate a generator indoors, in a garage or near doors or windows; exhaust gases can be deadly. Electrical connections and installation must be handled by suitably qualified professionals.
