Fuel costs to the Alps

[Jodes]

Anyone have any idea what the fuel cost would be from London to Alps... Courcheval to be specific, but I'm only after a rough idea so if anyone has an approx cost it would be very helpful!

Thanks

700 miles, 4 miles per litre, £1.20 per litre, total £210 or so?

You should do better than that. Euro 150.

[caldy]

Which element of the equation would you change? If anything, it may cost more coz fuel on the French Autoroutes is probably more expensive than £1.20 per litre. Cruising an RS4 at 80 mph plus the blasts in the mountains, I'd be happy with 18 mpg. And Google maps says it's definitely 700 miles from London.

£200 there and £200 back...ouch.

I drove from Calais to the Ring on 6/8 of a tank, I was however traviliing at speeds of 60/70mph due to another vehicle we was with had a trailer. so totally depends on your driving style.

see attached

I make it £173

based on:

£1.20pl
22 mpg average
700 miles

£400 small price to pay for all that enjoyment. How much for a black cab?

I wish the above were true! Did it in January, from Hertfordshire filled up 4 times, Eighty Euros [ish] per tank.

when i did mine i filled up with Shell V Power Racing which was something 1euro40 per litre and think we managed 21mpg over 2000 miles

ouch!

would do it again in a heartbeat though

I do the trip to 1650 at least 2-3 times a year, but normally in the A3.

900 miles each way from South Wales.

I budget 4 tanks for the A3 and in the RS4 its pointless budgeting because once you see an open French autoroute or German autobahn, you aren't going to be doing 80 despite your best intentions.

There is a Tesco's with 99RON just outside Folkestone which I always fill up at, and then fill up in Moutiers before you go up the mountain or get back on the Autoroute as its much cheaper.

If you can get away with one refuel on the autoroute enroute in the RS4, I salute you.



We're off again next week...

if you can go through luxumbourg petrol is like half the price there !

[caldy]

Only 72 days before the Euro Trip! Minimum of 1800 miles, plus The Ring, plus numerous goes on the Stelvio, equals mucha gasolina! No chance of 22mpg coz 'Captain Slow' I'm not. Perhaps Audi will let us fill up at their factory pump????

..Oh and remember Avants drink more due to there extra weight
