Methodology
## Methodology — Fuel trip cost
1. Normalize inputs. 2. Engine `fuel` with Canada pack (ca-federal-cpp-ei). 3. Social rate 0.0698, VAT/GST 0.05 from params.ts. 4. Show KPI + breakdown. 5. Continue with EV vs petrol, Car total cost, Commute cost, Lease vs buy car, Parking annual.
### Fuel trip cost (Canada) Distance × use × unit price (CAD).
### Engine detail (fuel) - Uses shipped model ca-federal-cpp-ei for Canada. - Social / contribution rate in params: 0.0698; VAT/GST: 0.05. - Example anchor income ~ CA$72,000 (illustrative, not a median claim). - Read the breakdown lines, not only the headline KPI. - Re-run after changing one input to see sensitivity.
Worked examples

Sensitivity +10%
Raise the main driver to about CA$79,200 and compare the delta vs baseline — critical for loans, tax brackets and goals.
