Frequently Asked Questions
What is Resolvo?
Resolvo is a UK-based platform that helps drivers appeal unfair parking tickets and PCNs. We provide free tools like this journey cost calculator alongside our expert parking ticket appeal services, helping you save money on both fuel costs and unjust parking fines.
How accurate is the journey cost calculation?
The calculator provides accurate fuel cost estimates based on the data you enter. Actual costs may vary due to traffic conditions, driving style, and route variations.
Should I include other costs besides fuel?
This calculator covers fuel only. For complete journey costing, add parking fees, tolls, wear and tear (typically 10-20% of fuel cost), and any accommodation if needed.
How do I find my vehicle's MPG?
Check your vehicle handbook, use our MPG calculator, or look up your car model online. Government fuel economy figures provide standardised comparisons.
Where can I find current fuel prices?
Check online fuel price comparison sites, petrol station apps, or government fuel price data. Prices vary by location and can change daily.
How do I split costs with passengers?
The calculator shows total cost - simply divide by the number of people sharing. Consider who's driving and whether to split equally or charge passengers less.
Is it cheaper than public transport?
Compare the total journey cost (including parking) with train/bus tickets. For multiple passengers, driving often becomes more economical per person.
Does driving style affect the cost?
Yes, aggressive driving can increase fuel consumption by 15-30%. Smooth, steady driving at moderate speeds will match the MPG figure more closely.
Should I factor in vehicle wear and tear?
For business purposes or long journeys, add 10-20% to fuel costs to account for tyre wear, oil changes, and general vehicle depreciation.
How does this relate to parking tickets?
While journey planning doesn't directly prevent parking tickets, Resolvo helps you save money on both travel budgeting and appealing unfair parking fines.
Can I use this for business expenses?
Yes, this helps calculate fuel costs for business travel. Check with your employer about their mileage rates and whether they cover additional vehicle costs.
How much does it cost to drive 100 miles?
Use the calculator: enter 100 miles, your car's MPG, and current fuel price. Typically ranges from £8-£20 depending on vehicle efficiency and fuel prices.
How do I calculate fuel cost for a long journey?
Enter your total distance, vehicle MPG, and current fuel price per litre. The calculator shows total fuel cost, cost per mile, and includes sharing options for accuracy.
Should I include parking costs in journey planning?
Yes, add parking fees to the fuel cost for total travel expense. In city centres, parking can often cost more than the fuel itself.
How much does fuel cost per mile in the UK?
Typically 8-15p per mile depending on vehicle efficiency and fuel prices. Use our calculator with your specific MPG and current fuel prices for accurate figures.
Is it cheaper to drive or take the train?
Compare total driving costs (fuel + parking + wear) with train tickets. For solo travel, trains are often cheaper. For families, driving usually wins, especially for shorter distances.
