What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Bedford to Forest Heath by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £9.9. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £4.95 (£9.9/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £3.3 (£9.9/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £2.48 (£9.9/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 57.22 miles, this computation entails multiplying 57.22 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 6.9 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 6.9 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £9.9.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Bedford to Forest Heath stands at £9.9.

 

The following factors affect automotive fuel consumption:

Traffic Congestion: Heavy traffic causes frequent stops and idling. Constant acceleration and deceleration might increase fuel consumption compared to open roadways.

Vehicle Weight: Heavy baggage or superfluous goods can strain the engine and increase fuel consumption. Removing excess weight boosts fuel efficiency.

Roads with steep inclines or drops can affect fuel consumption, especially for smaller engines. Uphill climbing takes more engine power and petrololine, whereas descending downhill may require more braking and fuel to regulate.

Weather: Rain, snow, and strong winds can affect fuel use. Driver speed and behaviour may change under these conditions, affecting fuel efficiency. Extreme temperatures also effect engine performance and fuel consumption.

Diesel cost from Bedford to Forest Heath.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 6.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.15 £ (6.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.1 £ (6.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.58 £ (6.3/4) /p.
