If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 48.9 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 24.45 quid each (£48.9 divided by 2).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 34.2 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 282.07 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

Some things that change how much petrol a car uses are

Driving Habits: Aggressive driving habits like speeding, accelerating quickly, and stopping and starting often can use a lot more petrol.

Maintenance on Your Vehicle: Regular oil changes, tyre rotations and engine tune-ups are all parts of good maintenance that keep your car running at its best. If you don't do upkeep, your car may use more petrol and be less efficient with it.

Tyre Pressure: Tyres that aren't properly filled can make them harder to roll and use more petrol. Keeping the right tyre pressure helps the car use less petrol.

Use of the Air Conditioning: Using the air conditioning can make the engine work harder and use more petrol, especially when going in stop-and-go traffic or in the city. Lessening the time you use the AC can help you use less fuel.
