Cheaper:
you could save 4p a mile,
that’s worth £200 per year
Based on an average car and average annual UK motorway milage. Read more.
If you drive an average 12,000 miles per year typically 40% of those miles are on motorways, that’s 4,800 motorway miles each year.
Driving a normal car (1.4 to 2.0 litre petrol engine) it will cost you (on average) an extra 4p per mile in fuel for every mile at 80mph rather than 70mph.
Multiplying that 4p per mile by 4,800 annual miles adds up to £192 in fuel costs every year.
