It's 100 miles to Dover for me and 30 miles to Newhaven so a saving of 140miles to be had. For me it works and you would need to do the sums yourself to see if it works out. The downside of Newhaven to Dieppe for me is the time spent on the ferry, it just seems to take forever.
Well it looks like the Newhaven - Dieppe is going to be the fun route. I reckon it's saves about £20 in fuel and a few euros in tolls but it costs £120 to cross???
9 miles less to Newhaven from MK than it is to Dover for me. So nothing gained or lost there. The ferry company won't accpet my Tesco vouchers though so that makes it quite a bit more.

But I agree with Cliffe - longer on the ferry and less time in the VX is a plus.

This is why I've booked Portsmouth Caen. 60 miles to Portsmouth then 5 3/4 hours on the ferry then an easy 95 miles to Le Mans. £225 though but saves me 370 miles so saves prob about £75 in fuel and prob £20 in tolls.
