Hi WorldLux,

I second that, that is why I look for driving and here is the est. driving cost (1/2 of trip)
Costs: 349.05 $ including Toll 165.97 $, Consumption 183.08 $

I seem to do better driving for group of six... Assuming the europerail.com cost is correct , and that is for only 15 days.

Thanks again,
D

Concerning the car:
- Diesel is currently "cheap" and sells for ~1.15€/liter (compare that to >1.30€ two years ago... )
- The tolls are really pushing the charges up. (You can check them on viamichelin.fr)
