How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £30.5. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £15.25 (£30.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £10.17 per passenger (£30.5 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £7.63 per passenger (£30.5 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 21.2 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £30.5 comes from for the journey from Ashford to Tamworth.
 

 

Things that affect how much petrol costs when you drive a car are 

  • Prices of Fuel: One of the main things that affects fuel costs is the price of fuel itself. Fuel prices can change because of changes in global oil costs, local taxes, and market demand.
  • Route Choice: The path taken while driving can change how much petrol you use. If you want to save money and petrol, choose routes with lower speed limits, fewer stops, and less traffic jams than routes through crowded cities. 
  • Maintenance: For the best petrol mileage, it's important to keep your car in good shape by doing things like changing the oil, rotating the tires, and tuning up the engine on a regular basis. Not doing upkeep can cause your car to use more petrol and cost you more money. 
  • Fuel Efficiency: A big part of how much fuel a car costs is how efficiently it uses fuel. Cars that are more fuel efficient will use less petrol per mile or kilometer, which means that you will spend less on petrol. 
  • Driving Habits: The way you drive, like speeding, accelerating quickly, and stopping a lot, can have a big effect on how much petrol you use. By driving more smoothly and keeping your speed steady, you can save money on petrol and use less of it. 
  • Vehicle Weight: Adding extra weight to your car, like extra goods or roof racks that you don't need, can make it use more petrol. Getting rid of weight that isn't needed can make fuel use more efficient and cut down on fuel costs.
