Default Anyone know of a good site for journey costs.

1. You set up your fuel price and mpg of your car.
2. Put in your destination, hey presto it gives you the cost.

There's lots of sites where you can do either, not many that do both.

The journey cost is not very accurate. A journey of 160 miles, it came out at approx £10. Using the AA and workin it out myself, £17.

I was thinking that. Usually Google maps will give you 2/3 options of travel. So figure out what your mpg is and work it out on the distance. On Google maps you can also drag and drop the map route to your choice too.

If google maps doesn't tick the right boxes for you, www.viamichelin.co.uk is also very good for multiple alternate routes (shortest, quickest, recommended, etc), and calculating fuel cost.

The route finders that I have seen will do all that.
