Officially, it should cost approx �7-�11 per 100 miles, therefore it may roughly cost you about �30.

Mind you, drive like a dingbat and that price will shoot up,

When you change from the M6 to the M5 at J9, watch the traffic, it can get quite busy there, you will need the inside lane to join the M5

The formula in this country has always been Miles/mpg = gallons. Despite always despising the French their method of measuring consumption as litres per 100km does tell you how much fuel you need to get where you're going, instead of how far you can go if you buy a gallon.

Hope this helps.

The current price of unleaded is about �1.01 per litre, or �4.58 per gallon.

I doubt your Mini-Cooper will achieve much more than 35 miles to a gallon on such a trip. Even if it manages 40, the trip will take about 8.75 gallons (about 40 litres) at a cost of just over �40.
