What's the cost of a drive from Aberdeen to Glenrothes?

The journey, powered by petrol, sets you back £15.7. 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 £7.85 each (£15.7 divided by 2). With a trio onboard, it drops to around £5.23 a head (£15.7 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's a mere £3.93 per person (£15.7 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 10.9 liters of fuel. Crunching the numbers, that's where the £15.7 total comes from for the trip from Aberdeen to Glenrothes.
 

 

There are a bunch of reasons why your car drinks up petrol like nobody's business:

  1. How You Drive: If you're always flooring it, slamming on the brakes, or speeding like a maniac, you're gonna burn through petrol faster than if you take it easy.

  2. Car TLC: Keeping your ride in good shape with regular check-ups and stuff like oil changes and tire rotations can help it run more efficiently and sip less petrol.

  3. Car Type: Different cars have different petrol guzzling habits. So, the make, model, and size of your wheels can affect how much fuel you use.

  4. Where You Drive: Traffic jams, potholes, and hills can all suck up more petrol. So, cruising on a smooth highway is gonna be easier on your petrol tank than crawling through city streets.

  5. Fuel Quality: Cheap petrol might save you a few bucks at the pump, but it could end up costing you more in the long run if it's not good quality stuff.

  6. What You Carry: Loading up your car with a ton of stuff, like sports gear or camping gear, can weigh it down and make it thirstier for petrol.
