If you did the entire journey at 70mph, that's 210 miles.
If your car averages 40mpg at that speed, that's 5.25 gallons.
If you're paying £4.75 per gallon, that's £25. If you are travelling slower than 70mph, you will use less fuel.
If it costs you £30-£50 to travel 210 miles, you are either driving a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, or you have a fuel leak.

It depends how fast you're going, under what circumstances. By far, I'd suggest that a combination of the two is more dangerous. If somebody is on a cell phone and going the speed limit, you're relatively unlikely to have a fatality. But if you're going at an excessive speed for the road, then you never know when you might end up in a situation in which you don't have enough reaction time. Add a distraction like a cell phone to the equation, reducing your awareness and reaction time, and you become a cataclysm on wheels.

The optimum fuel consumption would be 10 miles per litre, but this would require the most economical technique. In three hours at an average of 40 mph , with no major traffic problems , you would travel 120 miles , so you would use at least 12 litres . This would be difficult to achieve , given the temptations to put pedal to metal.

Depends on the engine size and your speed. Most cars are at their most economical at about 60mph. I have a Honda Jazz 1.2 and got 63mpg out of it by keeping my speed down to about 60 mph on the motorway. i do not recommend it . most lorries seem to do about 75 mph

Surely it depends on what speed?
