Puzzle ZZKL 



?

My BrainBashers electronic world atlas has developed another fault.

I listed six countries, and how far away each was from England, and here are the results:
Spain     14,000 miles
Fiji      12,000 miles
Germany   18,000 miles
Brazil    16,000 miles
India     16,000 miles
Iceland   --,--- miles

How far away did it list Iceland as?

Answer
20,000.

Each vowel (AEIOU) is worth 4,000 miles and each consonant is worth 2,000.
