Following on from scotjims reply to one of the posts in expensive holiday, I got thinking about his comparison between the ammount spent on toll roads V non toll.
Nikki and I always have this argument whereby I think that sometimes a toll road can actually work out as cheap. an example of this would be the ammount of time my eengine is running using a non toll road to actually using the toll road x distance travelled:Blush:
does this make sense :Blush: probably not so I will try an example and see if the clever funsters can offer a scientific answer.
so if i was travelling on a toll road it might be for 80 miles and cost me £12. but only taking me the grand total of 100mins.
Now the alternative route maybe an additonal 20 miles, at an average speed of 30mpg, therefore taking 3 hours 20 to complete the journey.
So in total I have arrived at the destination, what do you think has cost more?
The cost to life of course is the preference for the non toll journey due to the fantastic sceneary.
Nikki always says the toll cost more as I drive too fast on them as teh opportunity is there.
any thoughts?
