How much does it cost to drive from Bournemouth to Merthyr Tydfil with petrol?

Driving from Bournemouth to Merthyr Tydfil costs £23.6 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £11.8 per person. With three passengers, it's £7.87 per person, and with four passengers, it's £5.9 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 16.5 liters of fuel. This results in a £23.6 fuel cost for the journey.
 

 

The quality of fuel can indeed affect car fuel consumption. The main reasons are:

  1. Fuel Efficiency: High-quality fuel with the proper blend of additives and detergents can help maintain engine cleanliness and efficiency. Clean engines tend to burn fuel more efficiently, resulting in better mileage and lower fuel consumption.

  2. Engine Performance: Lower-quality fuels may contain impurities or inconsistent blends, which can lead to incomplete combustion or engine knocking. This can reduce engine efficiency and increase fuel consumption.

  3. Engine Deposits: Low-quality fuels may leave deposits on engine components such as fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers. These deposits can interfere with proper fuel delivery and combustion, leading to reduced fuel efficiency and increased consumption.

  4. Emissions: Poor-quality fuels may produce higher levels of harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Inefficient combustion due to low-quality fuel can lead to increased emissions and may also affect engine performance and fuel consumption.

  5. Long-term Effects: Continued use of low-quality fuel can result in long-term engine damage and decreased fuel efficiency. Over time, engine deposits can accumulate and impair engine performance, leading to higher fuel consumption and repair costs.

In summary, using high-quality fuel that meets the manufacturer's specifications can help maintain engine efficiency, reduce emissions, and optimize fuel consumption.
