What is the mathematical equation to determine fuel costs?

Ok, so I just want to know what the mathematical equation would be to compare different vehicles, with their own respective fuel consumption rates multiplied by a fixed gas rate & a fixed city travelling distance.

I'm Canadian, so the measurements would be in Litres.

Example :

Car #1 = 9.9 L/100 KM - At a rate of $1.30/Litre for fuel, how much would it cost to travel 500 KM's?

Car #2 = 8.9 L/100 KM. At a rate of $1.30/Litre for fuel, how much would it cost to travel 500 KM's?

I'm more interested in the mathematical equation, as I need to compare a few cars. 500 KM's is what I typically travel bi-weekly.

    500 KM x9.9 L/100 KM x 1.30/ liter = $64.35

    500KM x 8.9 L/100 KM x 1.30 = $57.85

    500/100=5 x9.9=49.5x1.3=$64.35

    500/100=5 x8.9=44.5x1.3=$57.85
