And he isn’t alone, as Brits say they would travel more than 9,300 miles per year to keep their relationship going, which would cost £1,500 a year in petrol but would cost £420 with an EV.
How Gavin and Stacey’s long-distance relationship would work in real life New data reveals how much the 428 mile round trip would have cost the couple.
Although the heart-warming gesture kept the pair together until they tied the knot, new data suggests that the 428 mile round trip could have cost an eye-watering £1,771 a year in petrol costs, or £500 if they switched to an electric vehicle (EV), according to OVO.
Half (49 per cent) would switch to EV if it would cut the cost of driving.
Alex Thwaites, Director of EV at OVO said, “Gavin and Stacey’s romance has provided the nation with a lot of laughs but the travel costs they would have racked up over the years are no joke.
