When there are three people in the car, each person will pay approximately £22.23 (£66.7 divided by 3). If there are four people in the car, each person would pay £16.68 (£66.7 divided by 4). Thus, that encompasses the financial facet of the expedition.

Now, let's delve into the intricate details of how we obtained these figures. The gasoline cost calculation is determined by the distance of your travel and the fuel efficiency of your car. To complete this journey, you would require approximately 46.7 litres of fuel. And that's the source of the £66.7 fare for the journey from Cambridge to Greenock.

The whole fuel expenditure for the trip amounts to £66.7, taking into account the distance travelled, the price of petrol, and the fuel efficiency of the car. Regardless of whether you are travelling alone or with companions, understanding the breakdown of these expenses may assist you in organising your journey and managing your finances effectively.
 

 

One thing that can affect car fuel consumption is the use of air conditioning (AC) for the following reasons:

  1. Engine Load: When the AC is turned on, the compressor in the car's engine needs to work harder to cool and circulate the air. This extra workload can increase the engine's fuel consumption, especially during city driving or when the car is idling.

  2. Drag Effect: Running the AC can also increase aerodynamic drag, particularly at higher speeds. This means the engine needs to work harder to maintain speed, resulting in higher fuel consumption.

  3. Accessory Load: In addition to the AC compressor, other electrical components such as the blower fan and condenser fan also draw power from the engine when the AC is running. This increases the overall electrical load on the engine, leading to higher fuel consumption.

  4. Driving Conditions: The impact of AC on fuel consumption can vary depending on driving conditions. For example, using the AC while driving at lower speeds or in stop-and-go traffic may have a more significant effect on fuel consumption compared to highway driving.

  5. Efficiency Settings: Some cars come equipped with features like "Eco" mode or variable AC compressor speeds, which can help reduce the impact of AC on fuel consumption. Using these features can help optimize fuel efficiency while still keeping the cabin cool.

Overall, while using the AC can increase fuel consumption to some extent, it's often a necessary trade-off for comfort, especially during hot weather. However, minimizing AC usage when possible, such as using the car's ventilation system or rolling down windows at lower speeds, can help mitigate its impact on fuel consumption.
