Driving from UK to Poland

Hi, i am thinking of travelling from UK to Poland and back, has anyone done this and roughly how much petrol will I use.
i guess its easy to find accomodation en route and where would be best to get duty free on the return journey
thanks

Oh, oh, there were a few who dared, but even less succeeded.💀

Why?cuz of there twinky matchbox brit cars??

Last time I did it in 2020 in a 2017 Ford Kuga 1.5 Ecoboost it came to around £600 return. About 7 tanks of petrol. Average speed was between 75-90 mph.

If you were driving an electric car, you would have to charge it at least 16 times, which would add another 6 hours to the journey.

Having done this numerous times I would not recommend it. Once you do the math a flight and a budget rental car are way cheaper. The only reason we did it was we had a dog and needed to bring him with us. You can do it in one go depending on which part of Poland you are travelling to but it is dangerous. The advice I would give is to get a ferry early in the morning or at night and try to catch a couple of hours shut eye on it we always did the Dover-Dunkirk route for this reason. Also, you want to be disembarking early in the morning so the majority of the journey is in the daylight as driving at night after a 24hr stint at the wheel is asking for trouble. The really is nothing so interesting on route to see, perhaps Berlin is a good stop off as you have broken the back of most of the journey and hotels are plentiful. I went from London to Czluchow, I did it in a 2007 Mazda mx5 2 litre which took 2 tanks and also a Mercedes 2009 2.2 diesel which took 2 tanks a Renault Megane 1.6 diesel 1.25 tanks a vw passat 2015 2.0 diesel which took 1.5 tanks of fuel. It is a straight run not complicated expect traffic around Antwerp and Berlin and be aware of scammers on this route they will flag you down to and say something is wrong with your car then rob you so only stop at a petrol garage with CCTV.

I haven't seen them lately.

Kinda tough driving across the Channel, I'd expect:-)

I'm guessing 1.25 tanks is one way. It's a great result and a super economical engine.
