about 60mph.

ChuckFickens

if you do get 40MPG then it's

(120 / 40) * (1.39 * 4.45400) = 18.57318

NOX

Very approximately it's 15 litres of fuel @ £1.39 = £20 more or less not allowing for driving like a nitwit or anything else unusual:)

gingejbee

Around £20 for the 120miles.

thanx for all answers. it looks between 18 - 20, google maps said 26!

Buenchico

£1.39/ litre = £6.32 / gallon.

120 miles @ 40mpg = 3 gallons.

3 x £6.32 = approx £19.
(If the 40mpg figure is for 'driver only' driving, the additional loading might put the cost up to a bit over £20).

It also depends which way you are thinking of going Benny.
