When there are three people in the car, each person will pay approximately £20.73 (£62.2 divided by 3). If there are four people in the car, each person would pay £15.55 (£62.2 divided by 4). Thus, that encompasses the financial facet of the expedition.

Now, let's delve into the intricate details of how we obtained these figures. The gasoline cost calculation is determined by the distance of your travel and the fuel efficiency of your car. To complete this journey, you would require approximately 43.5 litres of fuel. And that's the source of the £62.2 fare for the journey from Bathgate to Cambridge.

The whole fuel expenditure for the trip amounts to £62.2, taking into account the distance travelled, the price of petrol, and the fuel efficiency of the car. Regardless of whether you are travelling alone or with companions, understanding the breakdown of these expenses may assist you in organising your journey and managing your finances effectively.
 

 

One thing that can affect fuel consumption is the condition of the road for the following reasons:

  1. Surface Roughness: Rough road surfaces, such as those with potholes, cracks, or uneven pavement, can increase rolling resistance. This means the tires have to work harder to maintain speed, leading to higher fuel consumption.

  2. Friction: Poor road conditions can also increase friction between the tires and the road surface. This friction creates drag, which requires the engine to work harder to overcome. As a result, fuel consumption can increase, especially at higher speeds.

  3. Traffic Congestion: Roads with heavy traffic congestion often involve frequent stops and starts, as well as idling in traffic queues. This constant acceleration and deceleration can lead to increased fuel consumption compared to driving on open, free-flowing roads.

  4. Elevation Changes: Roads with steep inclines or declines can affect fuel consumption, especially for vehicles with less powerful engines. Climbing uphill requires more power from the engine and thus more fuel, while descending downhill may require additional braking and fuel to maintain control.

  5. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or ice can affect road traction and vehicle stability. Drivers may need to adjust their speed and driving behavior, which can impact fuel consumption.

  6. Surface Quality: Smooth road surfaces with good pavement quality generally result in lower fuel consumption compared to rough or poorly maintained roads. This is because smooth roads reduce rolling resistance and allow for more efficient vehicle operation.

Overall, road conditions play a significant role in determining fuel consumption, and drivers may experience variations in fuel efficiency depending on the condition of the roads they are driving on.
