Kind regards markMy approach would be to find out your cars mpg and then multiply that by the cost of fuel.So if your car does say 40 mpg and a gallon of fuel costs say £6.00 (4.5L in a gallon and say litre costs £1.33)£6.00 / 40 = £0.15p per mileI have a tendency to mute most posts so if your expecting me to respond you might be waiting along time!1 -
