How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for Highfield Boats based on your distance in nautical miles and selected fuel type. Highfield RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) are lightweight, efficient, and commonly powered by outboard engines.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel Used = Distance × Consumption Rate (liters per nautical mile)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Gasoline: 2.31 kg CO₂/liter
- Ethanol Blend: 2.00 kg CO₂/liter
