Straight answers about inputs, exports and the limits of a planning tool.
What does Car Trip Stories do?
It provides six independent tools for road-trip cost planning, fuel-range estimates, break timelines, toll-route trade-offs, own-car/rental comparisons and personal journals.
Are example numbers live prices?
No. Replace the starting values with your own research. There is no live pricing, route discovery or station-availability feed.
Does currency selection convert money?
No. It only labels amounts. Enter every monetary input in the selected currency.
Does changing units convert values?
No. Re-enter distance, fuel volume, consumption, price and per-distance allowances in the units you select. Metric consumption is L/100 km; US consumption is miles per US gallon, not Imperial gallon.
Can I use the fuel range as a guarantee?
No. The model holds consumption constant and cannot verify station availability or road conditions. Keep a suitable reserve, check real refuelling options and refuel early when uncertain.
Does the driving planner assess fatigue?
No. The interval is an entered assumption. Stop safely when you need to, obey local rules and never drive because a tool suggests you should continue.
Are inputs or stories saved?
Not by the supplied tools. They stay in current page memory. Print or export before leaving, refreshing or closing the page.
How do I use Print / PDF?
After generating a result, choose Print / PDF. Use your browser’s print dialog or Save as PDF option if available. Inputs and navigation are hidden by print styling.
Why does a tool still show “Tool loading…”?
Its JavaScript has not initialized. On a published page, possible causes include removed or altered inline scripts, a security policy, a syntax error or an optimization delay. The site operator should inspect the saved code and browser console.
Do you accept bookings or provide emergency assistance?
No. Contact the appropriate local emergency or roadside provider for urgent help. Our email is for ordinary site questions and corrections.
