just done a predicted route to pauls house (novashed)

it tells me its going to take an hour and 2 minutes.

fine great.

got the miles as well so i can work out how much petrol im gonna use.

then i find the cost of the journey thing!

:rofl:

it asks me if the car has :arrow:
under inflated tyres? WTF how do i know!
small or medium car
passengers or full load
empty roof rack?
window or sunroofs open?
air conditioning?

and breaks my journey down into motorway miles, non motorway miles, and you can put a price of petrol in (currently 77.8p)

its gonna cost me ?5.96 to get there :lol:

funily enough i used this today ... not to the extent of finding out the cost of getting there ...

thing is it was naming round-a-bouts that didn't even have name on when i came to them LOL

was weird but even still deadly accurate on FREE ... what more could you ask for!!

under inflated tyres? WTF how do i know!

Well you'd go out and check the pressure... but then of course if pressure was low you'd put some air in them, so then they wouldn't be under inflated... lol
