How much does it cost to travel from Birmingham to Southampton by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £24.9. 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 £12.45 (£24.9/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £8.3 per person (£24.9/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £6.23 per person (£24.9/4).

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 143.67 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 143.67 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 17.4 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 17.4 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £24.9.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Birmingham to Southampton amounts to £24.9.

 

Things that affect how much petrol costs when you drive a car are 

  • Prices of Fuel: One of the main things that affects fuel costs is the price of fuel itself. Fuel prices can change because of changes in global oil costs, local taxes, and market demand.
  • Route Choice: The path taken while driving can change how much petrol you use. If you want to save money and petrol, choose routes with lower speed limits, fewer stops, and less traffic jams than routes through crowded cities. 
  • Maintenance: For the best petrol mileage, it's important to keep your car in good shape by doing things like changing the oil, rotating the tires, and tuning up the engine on a regular basis. Not doing upkeep can cause your car to use more petrol and cost you more money. 
  • Fuel Efficiency: A big part of how much fuel a car costs is how efficiently it uses fuel. Cars that are more fuel efficient will use less petrol per mile or kilometer, which means that you will spend less on petrol. 
  • Driving Habits: The way you drive, like speeding, accelerating quickly, and stopping a lot, can have a big effect on how much petrol you use. By driving more smoothly and keeping your speed steady, you can save money on petrol and use less of it. 
  • Vehicle Weight: Adding extra weight to your car, like extra goods or roof racks that you don't need, can make it use more petrol. Getting rid of weight that isn't needed can make fuel use more efficient and cut down on fuel costs.
