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.

Hi,
Thanks for that

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

Hi,
I just had a look at that site that the op suggested.

It told me it will take 23hrs 57 mins

2426 km

total cost of fuel and toll roads 1021.57 euros

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.

I can not understand how come it cost that much for mine,mines a 2.5 diesel and like i said i was quoted loads for fuel.

good god women what are you driving to come up with those costs, a bloody hummer :scared:

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.

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

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

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.

Hi,
Thanks for that.
