Fuel costs have been going up this year as the price at the pump leaves many scratching their head. The cost of living has been spiralling upwards and one of the main sectors affected by this is fuel. Looking at the website Compare The Market, drivers are able to see the list of top 10 most common cars on the roads in the UK. And then you can see how much drivers pay per mile in them.
When Derbyshire Live did the maths, unleaded petrol cost 167.40 pence per litre and diesel cost 177.78 pence per litre. This was used to calculate the total fuel cost for each mile by using the given number of miles per gallon each car achieves in towns and cities and on motorways and dual carriageways. Using this calculator on Fuel-Economy.co.uk, drivers can work out the cost per mile at the above prices. Hopefully this will help drivers better understand how much each mile costs them.
