Immingham - Sunderland = 148 miles via M180/A1M

Sunderland - Telford = 210 miles via A1M/M1/A38

Telford - Immingham = 145 miles via A38/M180

HTH - all off Autoroute

Autoroute makes it roughly 485 miles mate.
If you want it any more accurate I'd need postcodes.

Cheers Entwood. I've phoned my mate, 500 miles & 20mpg towing @ 55/65mph empty & loaded. He's doing some number crunching & will let me know later or tomorrow. It's not gonna be cheap but diesel cost only. Our time is free.
      I'm the middleman. Any estimates on fuel costs? I dunno how to convert the price of litres to gallons. :-?

500 miles @ 20 mpg = 25 gallons * 4.54 = 113.5 ltrs x whatever Diesel is per ltre .... 1.10 ????

so 113.5 x 1.10 = £113.50 ?? ish :(

Cheers John. Entwoods help adds up to 503 miles so close enough, we'll use 500 as a round figure. It's the selling fuel in ltrs & trying to equate that to mpg that rattles my cage!!!!!!!!! ::)

I think thats being very conservative, using the same sort of vehicle and trailer im doing about 200 miles to 60 quids worth of fuel. 20 mpg with a meega on the back is gonna be good going im afraid :-/

We know your only going on the figures ;) i just dont want anyone to end up in an awkward position and be out of pocket. I tow with a Toyota 4runner 3.0TD and if i got 20 mpg whilst towing id be chuffed to bits :)

KAte, i would use your green flag....breakdown and recovery is what you already pay for and then you wouldnt end up havin to pay fuel cost.

Dont get me wrong i think you lads are all great with how your pullin together to help out kate. but really Green Flag is the easyer option.
