How much does it cost to drive from Bristol to St Albans with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Bristol to St Albans. The journey using petrol will set you back 21.6 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 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 10.8 pounds (£21.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 7.2 pounds (£21.6 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.4 pounds (£21.6 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 Bristol and St Albans is approximately 124.76 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 15.1 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 (15.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 21.6 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Bristol to St Albans is 21.6 pounds.
 

 

The following reasons can affect car fuel consumption:

  1. Traffic Congestion: Driving in heavy traffic often involves frequent stops and starts, as well as idling in traffic queues. This constant acceleration and deceleration can lead to increased fuel consumption compared to driving on open, free-flowing roads.

  2. Vehicle Weight: Carrying excess weight in the vehicle, such as heavy cargo or unnecessary items, can increase fuel consumption by putting additional strain on the engine. Removing unnecessary weight can improve fuel efficiency.

  3. Elevation Changes: Driving on roads with steep inclines or declines can affect fuel consumption, especially for vehicles with less powerful engines. Climbing uphill requires more power from the engine and thus more fuel, while descending downhill may require additional braking and fuel to maintain control.

  4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or strong winds can affect fuel consumption. These conditions may require drivers to adjust their speed and driving behavior, impacting fuel efficiency. Additionally, extreme temperatures can affect engine performance and fuel consumption.
