Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 12.65 pounds (£25.3 divided by 2).

The distance between Reading and West Somerset is approximately 145.98 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 17.7 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (17.7 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 25.3 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Reading to West Somerset is 25.3 pounds.
