What's the cost of a drive from Reading to Sunderland?

The journey, powered by petrol, sets you back £48. In this calculation, we're crunching numbers based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's thirst of 37.5 miles per gallon. If you're carpooling with a buddy, that's £24 each (£48 divided by 2). With a trio onboard, it drops to around £16 a head (£48 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's a mere £12 per person (£48 divided by 4).

Let's dig into the math behind it. The fuel expenditure hinges on the distance covered and the car's efficiency. For this particular jaunt, you're looking at guzzling down roughly 33.6 liters of fuel. Crunching the numbers, that's where the £48 total comes from for the trip from Reading to Sunderland.
 

 

The fuel economy is highly sensitive to the state of the vehicle. In this way:

The effectiveness of the engine's fuel combustion and its overall consumption are both improved with regular engine maintenance. Maintaining your engine with routine oil changes, air filter replacements, and tune-ups will keep it running at its best.

Problems with the fuel system, including blocked injectors or a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, can cause petrololine to burn improperly and increase consumption. Preventing such problems requires regular maintenance and rapid repairs.

Problems with tires: When the tires are worn down or not inflated properly, the vehicle has to use more energy (and fuel) to go forward because of the increased rolling resistance. You may enhance your fuel efficiency by changing worn-out tires and keeping them properly inflated.

Aerodynamics: If the body of the vehicle is dented or has panels that aren't flush with the body, airflow will be disrupted and aerodynamic drag will increase, resulting in increased fuel consumption. The best aerodynamic performance is possible with a well-maintained vehicle body.

Diesel cost from Reading to Sunderland.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 30.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 15.15 £ (30.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 10.1 £ (30.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.58 £ (30.3/4) /p.
