Ready for this?
Debrecen in Eastern Hungary back to sunny Blackpool is approximately 1500 Miles. In the taxi I drove back from Debrecen we left the meter running.
Debrecen, Hungary to Vienna, Austria =
Meter reset back to £0.00, Vienna, Austria to Calais, France =
Calais, France to Blackpool, UK =
Total Cost of journey in a Taxi =£2743.20
Which roughly means if I had had a paying customer in the cab they would hand over cash totalling £2743.20.
That is ROUGHLY £1.80 per mile.
Hopes that helps rather elaborately to back up your point you were making...
