Paris to Lyon is 465.4 km by road, about 4 h 58 min driving, through France. At 7 L/100 km that is 33 litres, €77.83 of diesel at €2.389/L — the kilometre-weighted average of the national figures below. At 5 L/100 km it is €55.59, at 9 L/100 km €100.07. Tolls and vignettes on file for this route come to €0.00 for a category 1 car; adding the tolled motorway kilometres we have no tariff for gives an estimate of €45.38. Diesel: 100 stations within 2 km had a price reported in the last 24 hours. Petrol: 93 stations within 2 km had a price reported in the last 24 hours. These are ROUTE figures for one specific pair of places, one way: a distance, a fuel cost derived from per-station medians, and published toll tariffs. They are not a national average and not a live quote at any single pump.
