Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 11.25 pounds (£22.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 7.5 pounds (£22.5 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.63 pounds (£22.5 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Birmingham and Lancaster is approximately 128.64 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 15.6 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (15.6 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 22.5 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Birmingham to Lancaster is 22.5 pounds.
