Calculate the cost of fuel for a journey

March 12, 2024 News

In order to offer the best prices and value to our customers we need to know, amongst many other factors, how much the fuel for a trip is going to cost. We also believe in being efficient and making everyone’s lives as easy as possible.

The quick way to work out the cost of fuel is to use this Journey Cost Calculator tool, however, more information can be found below.

To calculate the cost of fuel for a journey you need 3 pieces of information.

Cost of fuel per litre
Total number of miles
Miles per Gallon (MPG) for the vehicle

The cost of the fuel may vary on your journey, the total number of miles will almost certainly be an estimate and the MPG for the vehicle will also be an estimate. You will need to accept that the result is not 100% accurate but still a very useful guide.

You can find a very useful tool to calculate the fuel cost here:

On average our Luton vans will do 18-20 MPG. This could be lower if you drive fast, are heavily loaded and/or drive in a lot of slow moving traffic.

Our Large vans will be 22-27 MPG.

Medium vans will be 25-30 MPG.

The total number of miles can easily be calculated on Google maps.

Fuel prices can be checked on the RAC’s website.

Of course you could calculate the cost yourself but if you want an easy way you can use this tool: Journey Cost Calculator

Bakkavor Group is a leading international food manufacturing company specialising in freshly prepared foods and produce.

The company have five core values that underpin the way we do business, one of which is, customer care: We are committed to supplying outstanding service, quality and value, never forgetting that our relationship with our customers is pivotal to our success.

Invicta Couriers have helped us to achieve this in conjunction with our team at Tilmanstone. They provide transport solutions for the effective distribution of samples to our customers and internal buying teams. On many occasions that has been at short notice and often outside traditional working hours.

We have been working with Invicta’s for a number of years now and would consider their flexible approach and professional manner a credit to their management team.

It is on this basis that I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any business.

I confirm that I have dealt with Invicta Couriers since 2004, during which time they have provided our company with excellent support in transporting our water samples from our offices in Folkestone to our laboratories in Watford and Staines.

One of the reasons we initially approached Invicta was due to the fact that they could offer temperature controlled vehicles with constant monitoring, to ensure that our strict guidelines are adhered to.

One of the reasons we have remained with Invicta is based in the good working relationship and trust that has developed. The nature of our business means that we can require sample transportation during unsociable hours and very often, at very short notice. I’m delighted to say that Invicta Couriers have always been able to accommodate our needs.

I can confidently recommend Invicta Couriers as providers of a flexible and reliable service.
