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

The answer: £13.6. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 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 £6.8 (£13.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £4.53 per passenger (£13.6 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £3.4 per passenger (£13.6 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 9.5 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £13.6 comes from for the journey from Bedford to Thurrock.
 

 

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.
