Diesel is £2 a litre, Luckily my car is economical - 67 mpg.

If you want to convert to pence per mile - then take the cost of fuel (in pence), multiply it by 4.54 and divide by your cars mpg.

(200 *4.54 / 67)

(Obviously mpg can vary when in towns vs long drives )

30 mpg @£2 a litre is 30p
60 mpg @2 a litre is 15p

You can see how journeys can add up - and how some people who have to drive for work are struggling.

76p roundtrip ,assuming fuel only ,that's what... 2 miles each way?

Why do you need to drive at all?
