Most of that's irrelevant, because you would be travelling at the orbital velocity of Mars when you got there. That varies quite a bit because Mars has a fairly eccentric orbit. Its aphelion is 1.666 AU and its perihelion 1.394 AU. You can work out the velocity by raising the distance of the planet to the power of 1.5, or in other words cubing it and finding the square root, then multiplying it by Earth's orbital velocity, which is about 29.8 kps.
