How do you justify this statement?
According to this website, the average miles per gallon achieved by a car is 24.9.
When travelling via the A19, the distance between Newcastle and Middlesbrough is 40 miles.
When using this website to calculate the fuel cost for a car using the above figures (rounded), the journey would cost £7.05 - this is before you add the cost of parking, etc.
A ticket, which can be used as many times as the customer likes, costing £7.90, is therefore very good value - regardless of the additional zone cost by having a stop within the Red Zone.
