There are loads of factors in it, bit of a vague question if am being honest with ya!

Weather
Weight In Car
Cost Of Fuel
Roads Used

Sure other people would be able to add to that list as contributing factors.

Do you know what you avg MPG is? Best thing to do would be to put it into an online converter which will tell you how much.

easiert way to get your mpg would be to...

brim your car, drive a round trip somewhere roughly about 50 miles from the petrol station and back
then brim the car again.
then you can see how much you used in liters

for example if u have used 5 liters (1 liter = 0.219969 UK gallons) in 50 miles you have roughtly about 45.4mpg

official figgures for a 1.2 metit are:
1.2 42mpg so about 50.7 liters to do 468miles
1.2 e-drive is 47mpg so about 45.3 liters for 468miles
1.2 automatic is 33mpg so about 68.2 for 468miles

ofcourse this does depend on how much weight is in the car, tyre pressure, wind speed, so its impossible to work out the exact figgure!
