Rough fuel cost
 

HI,
Can anyone roughly tell me what the cost of fuel will be from dover to marbella.
I have a 2.5 diesel 4x4, and i just need a rough guide so i can plan everything.

Thanks :)

Here's a link to michelin maps who calculate mileage/kilometres, fuel costs and time. There are loads like this if you Google.

When I drove down from Dover to Cadiz with tolls it was near 450 euros. word of warning don't stop near Madrid there is a lot of crime, stop either 100 k this side or 100 k the other side,apart from that you will love it you get to see some lovely parts of Spain, good luck :beer:

Oh dear. That doesn't sound good! I had a go myself on the website and travelling via Cordoba in a family-sized saloon it came to 1961 kms., tolls 55.60€, petrol 206.35€, total 261.95€. I'll have a go now with mappy.com

I drive down to Almeria in a Transit Van, a bit further than you will be going , it costs around 250€ in Diesel and 80€ Tolls because my van is 3.5 Tonne,drive time is around 25 hrs travelling at 65-70 MPH.

Re: Rough fuel cost
 

You are probably looking at getting 8-9 km per litre on say something like a shogun 2.5 deisel about 22-24 miles per gallon equivalent on my sat nav i have 1630 miles to Murcia roughly 2716.66 km = 301.85 litres at 9kms per litre at 90 cents per litre = 271.66 euros plus tolls

No a l200, i think i put the correct size car in as i checked several time i put in 4x4.
I normally get 400km to the tank thats around town and the odd longer journey.

Re: Rough fuel cost
 

same engine as my calculations shogun L200 the same, you may not be able to re-register your L200 in Spain as its classed as a comercial, however add the additional distance to Cordoba, i think your original distance was pretty near

Re: Rough fuel cost
 

Hi,
Do you not think i can register the car?

Re: Rough fuel cost
 

RHD pickup trucks cannot be registered in Spain as, if they are fully loaded, then they will fail the all round visibility requirement just like a commercial van.

It is a slightly grey area and it may well depend on the individual ITV station that you take it to when you try to re-register it.

Be prepared for a failure.
