Gotta drive 170 miles...How much will petrol cost?

Question

I'm driving mainly on the motorway, I have a 1.2 16v Clio which tends to be good on petrol, but need to know roughly how much it's going to cost me to drive 170 miles. Thanks

Answer 1

Your car should average 47mpg on this journey, so therefore it should use 3.62 gallons, or 16.42 litres. At your fuel pricing, that's £18.56 (Call it £20 to round it off)

Answer 2

well i did a quick search and saw it gets like 48 mpg so like 2.5 gallons x $. or about 10 ltrs x $

Answer 3

£15 should cover it. I have a magan 2ltr and mine would be fine with that much fuel, yours is a smaller car so you may even get away with a tenner if you drive around 60-70mph.

around town you probably use £20 with that distance, but you get much more to the gallon on the motorway.

Answer 4

Info that we need to solve this problem:

1. Miles per gallon for the car

2. Price of fuel.

3. Length of trip.

You've only given us one of the variables we need. Can't solve it.

Answer 5

Hmm, this is a difficult one.

170 miles at 10 miles per litre - could that possibly be 17 litres?

17 litres at £1.13 = £19.21.

Not rocket science, is it?
