Are you talking about the driving costs or the overall including ferry etc? Will you need to buy breakdown cover?

If you going 500 miles at say 35 mpg = 14.3 gallons. At £4.60 a gallon ( £1 per litre) it will cost £71, or 14.2 p per mile.
Depends on cost of fuel in the countries, but UK is about the highest ( you voted them in).
But if you drive carefully, you should get more than that mpg, I get that from Mondy 2l

And considering that the Focus cannot drive on water, you will need to pay at least £49 for either the Channel Tunnel or for the Ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland. So, depending from where you are starting, the ferry may save you considerable driving time.

nar just wanted to know petrol cost, isurance I have covered

Thanks TurboD having spent the last 3 hour finding out, what you said sounds right on the money.

The cheapest way will cast me 210 pounds with a 9 hour drive lol heaven help me if I break down.

If you think you know a cheaper way would love to know.

Cheers.

yer shame it cant fly that would be even better.

I'm coming from London the ferry to demark which is the easy way cost 280£ then a drive through Demark then the brigde over to Malmö where I live that would come out at 350is pound.

I'll go from harwich-holand 90£ then drive the rest of the way you can also drive to Germany get the boat over from there 230£ lol.

I used to do Dover - Zeebrugge, 670 miles from there up to Djursland.

Harwich to Esberg was good though costly.

I suppose that Newcastle or Hull to Bergen/oslo/christiansand is ££££££ ?

Should say - im not sure what the routes are these days but there are certainly ferries from the northern ports to norway, not sure if you can get to Sweden directly

Ferries Or tunnel always cheaper at night. You can crusie more economically at night as well due to no traffic. I normally drive to spain over night. Saves hours of traffic.

Thanks for replys, if I can get over to france for 20 quid that would save me a little, there's no direct ferries to Sweden the best way is to Denmark then drive through but thats, like I said pricey.

I did once go from Newcastle when I first moved there but I was living in the north of Sweden, well middle so it made sense, I live down south now.

Travelling at night makes sense but it's damm long drive from France but from Holland makes sense.

To be honest I thought it would cost me much more in petrol to drive most of the way but it wont

Cheers.Jon
