No matter how carefully you work out your cars fuel efficiency you cannot predict what circumstances can occur on a proposed journey. When I lived in Essex and travelled regularly to Derbyshire I met all sorts of situations which threw potential fuel costs for the journey right out of the window. On one occasion the M25 was completely blocked and just after joining the motorway I was in a huge traffic jam that crawled along at less than walking speed for over an hour until we were diverted off the motorway and diverted towards London. Three hours after I set off I was further away from my destination than when I started.
