Stats Time

The usual end of trip stats.

Ginny and I covered a total of 1945 miles on the trip. That's 200 miles more in 8 days, than I have covered in 8 months, in Nessa, my Toyota CHR.

Ginny supped approximately 171.5 litres / 37.75 gallons of fuel, at an average rate of;

12.2 miles per litre / 55.47 miles per gallon.

The most miles Ginny covered on one tank, was 287.1 miles, with 35 miles range showing.

Price per litre varied from country to country, Austria being about 30-35 cents cheaper than Germany but the overall spend was approximately €225 / £205. Besides fuel, I also stuck 300ml of oil in Ginny, which amounts to something like €/£5-€/£6 worth.

My hotel and living costs were around €500 / £455 and my race ticket cost €190, which included €25 for secure delivery (robbing b'stards!)

All in all then, this little jaunt has cost me about €915 / £835. It's not cheap this touring lark!

And I'll be doing it all again in September. At least the ticket is cheaper AND I can print it myself, so that's an €80 / £73 saving right off. I'm hoping the weather in Spain will be better than it was for the second half of this trip. "£$%ing Germany 😠

Keep your eyes peeled for updates about that trip over the next month. I'll be setting off from Blighty on Tuesday 17th September.
