How much does it cost to travel from Bearsden to Colchester by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £73.3. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £36.65 (£73.3/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £24.43 per person (£73.3/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £18.33 per person (£73.3/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 422.69 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 422.69 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 51.2 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 51.2 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £73.3.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Bearsden to Colchester amounts to £73.3.

 

How much petrol a car uses depends in large part on the driver's habits. In this way: 

Increased fuel consumption might be a result of aggressive driving practices, including quick acceleration and frequent hard braking. More fuel efficiency is achieved with smooth, progressive acceleration and deceleration. 
Increased aerodynamic drag causes fuel consumption to rise with increasing speed. One way to save petrol is to keep your speed modest and constant. 
Leaving the engine running when stopped or waiting wastes petrololine; this is known as idling. To save petrol, turn off the engine when you're not moving for a long time. 
Using the Air Conditioner: Using the air conditioner at its highest setting can lead to an increase in fuel usage. You may conserve fuel by using the air conditioner rarely and by choosing natural ventilation when you can. 
Overloading: The engine has to work harder to move large goods or extraneous objects around, which increases fuel consumption. Fuel economy can be enhanced by reducing excess weight.
