Fuel Costs

⛽️✨ Vanilla’s Fuel Story ✨⛽️

After rolling up 1,478 miles of mountains, moors, and motorways, Vanilla’s engine has been well and truly fuelled.

👉 On the good days (steady cruising), she stretches to about 35 mpg.
👉 On the tougher climbs & traffic jams, she drops closer to 30 mpg.

That adds up to somewhere between:
• 192 litres of diesel at her best 💪
• 224 litres at her thirstiest 😅

With diesel prices bouncing between £1.40 – £1.54 per litre, the final bill came in at roughly:
• 💸 £268 – £345 in total

Which works out as:
• 🛣 18–23 pence for every mile of freedom
• 📆 Around £22–£29 per day — basically the price of a pub lunch and a pint 🍺🍴

And every single drop bought more than just distance. It bought:
🌊 Coastal drives
🏔 Highland climbs
🚁 Drone flights over wild beaches
🌅 Sunsets from the pop-top with the heater ticking away

Worth. Every. Penny. 🙌Read more
