Not sure about your overall costs, but 9000 miles doesn't seem much. I covered 10,000 just going to Morocco and back. Depends on how much pottering around you intend to do I suppose.

Hi!
I am not used to gallons, miles and such kind of staff - sorry - you should then calculate yourself. Anyway we did the route Poland-south Europe-Morocco-West Sahara - Mauri-Senegal (Dakar)-Mali (Kayes) and back passing almost 20.000 km. Just straight way, no detours.

Hi Dave should we all be assuming that if you only get 12mpg that you may be running a V8 PETROL. (Maybe not, it was just a thought).
By the way we did 4000 miles from Dorset to Genova, 17 days in Tunisia and return.
