Take the train. On this route, it beats driving on both time and money.
The journey is about 17m faster (3h 45m by train vs 4h 2m by car) and roughly kr136 cheaper once you factor in fuel and tolls (kr492 vs kr628). You'll also arrive in the city centre rather than hunting for parking, and you can work, read, or watch the landscape go by instead of concentrating on the road.
Driving is still worth considering if you want to stop along the way or need a car once you arrive.
