How much would it cost for a citreon saxo vtr 1.6 to travel 350 miles? Me and my boyfriend are going to my dads in scotland this weekend, but we dont have a lot of money and was just wondering how much we will need. Thanks!

Our online car buyers guide shows an 'official combined' fuel consumption for the 1.6vtr of 42miles/gallon.

It's not unreasonable to expect to get close to this figure on a long run if the vehicle's driven gently.

Over 350 miles you should then expect to use 350/42 or approx 9 gallons of petrol.

Our April fuel price report shows a national average price of 95p/litre for unleaded petrol.

1 gallon = 4.546 litres
9 gallons = 9x4.546 = 41 litres

So your fuel bill will be around 41x0.95 = £39.

If you follow our Eco-driving tips you should be able to improve on the official fuel consumption figure and cut your fuel bill further.
