Calculate precise trip expenses

Tell Cline your route and watch it execute `calculate_trip_cost` to get your total. It writes the data directly into your project files for you. No more spreadsheets. You get an exact dollar amount for your journey in seconds.

Compare fuel value on the fly

Cline uses `compare_fuel_efficiency` to weigh fuel costs against your car's specific engine profile. It decides which option keeps more cash in your pocket. It removes the guesswork from fueling up. You get a recommendation based on real math, not marketing claims.

Generate detailed travel reports

After your route is set, `get_trip_summary` builds a full overview of your costs. Cline presents this info clearly so you can stage your final budget. This MCP keeps your records clean. You see the entire trip logic laid out in your editor.
