What's the expense of traveling from Bedford to Milton Keynes by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £3.3. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £1.65 (£3.3/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £1.1 (£3.3/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £0.83 (£3.3/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 18.93 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 18.93 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 2.3 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 2.3 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £3.3.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Bedford to Milton Keynes amounts to £3.3.

 

A lot of things can have a big effect on how much petrol a car uses, but the most common ones 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, tire 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. 
     
  • Car Type: Some of the things that affect how much fuel a car uses are its make and model, its engine size, its weight, its aerodynamics, and its fuel economy rating. 
     
  • Conditions of the Road: Things like traffic jams, bad roads, changes in elevation, and the weather can all affect how much petrol you use. It takes more petrol to drive stop-and-go in heavy traffic or uphill than to drive steadily on a highway on flat ground. 
     
  • Importance of Fuel Quality: The octane number and additives in the fuel can affect how well it works. Fuels of lower quality may make engines less efficient and cause them to use more fuel. 
     
  • Route: The path you take can change how much petrol you use. It is possible to use less petrol by choosing roads with slower speed limits, less traffic, and fewer stops. 
     
  • Cargo: Having extra weight in the car, like big cargo or roof racks, makes the aerodynamic drag higher and needs more fuel to keep the speed constant, which means higher fuel use.
