    ill be doing some travelling in october and need to work out how much fuel ill be using and how much it will cost ,maybe some one with better maths skills than me can help me out! :)

    ill be doing approx 1,625 km, in a van with 6 people, the van should do approx 12.4km/l. assuming petrol is still 159.9 everywhere or 149.9 if its a diesel ( i presume it would be) can anyone give me a rough estimate?


    thanks!!!

    209.54 if petrol
    196 if diesel.

    The same model diesel and petrol car won't return the same km/L though.

    Around €200.

    Edit.. I see Scortho used a calculator. I did it in my head. Glad to see i wasn't far off!!!

    Divide the km traveled by km/litre and multiply by cent/ litre.
    1625/12.4x1.599=€209.55

    Do you have proof. For all you know I could be a whiz at maths.....(I wish)
    I could do it in my head. But time is money as they say!:)
