it is 971 kilometres from pattaya to phuket.           lets say its a 2000 k round trip.          i want to hire car out today ( toyota vios 1.5 litre )   what would price for the travel be, im not sure how to work it out in litres etc sorry i am as thck as a plank with maths.          would i be better hiring a deiasel car 2.5 litre ford ranger ?   

car rentals for the week is costing me 5000 baht so i am trying to do my homework and see if it is worth hiring a car or just travel via bus.

 

i want a stop in   hau hin -    chuphon -   krabi -     phuket and samui maybe if time permits. then back to pattaya before -  3rd may to get flight home.

 

may not have time , what do you think

One litre of gasoline is about 25thb.

 

Maybe a Vios will do 15kms/Ltr .

. a guess

 

So for 1000kms you would use 1000/15Ltrs ...multiply that numbet by cost/Ltr

 

So 1000*25/15 is rough to get there.

If it's a modern Vios it can go on E20 for 25 Baht/liter.

7l / 100 km is my guess (aka 14.2 km / liter)

So 140 liters of fuel for 3500 Baht (based on 2000 km roundtrip).

 

You might come out cheaper depending on traffic flow etc.

would the deisel be cheaper

Currently not such a big difference.

E20 is even cheaper than Diesel.

Diesel cars (limousines) are rare and expensive (German brands).

Pickups have about the same fuel consumption or even more (compared to a mid size limousine).

If you want it cheaper you would need to climb into one of the micro cars/eco cars. Not everybodys cup of tea for a 2000 km roundtrip.
