How much does it cost to drive from Cardiff to Alloa with petrol?

Driving from Cardiff to Alloa costs £71.9 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £35.95 per person. With three passengers, it's £23.97 per person, and with four passengers, it's £17.98 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 49.9 liters of fuel. This results in a £71.9 fuel cost for the journey.
 

 

Road conditions affect fuel usage for the following reasons:

Surface Roughness: Potholes, fissures, and uneven pavement increase rolling resistance. This makes the tires work harder to maintain speed, increasing fuel consumption.

Tire-road surface friction increases with poor road conditions. Friction causes drag, which makes the engine work harder. Therefore, fuel usage might rise, especially at high speeds.

Traffic Congestion: Heavy traffic causes stops and idling in traffic queues. Constant acceleration and deceleration might increase fuel consumption compared to open roadways.

Elevation Changes: Steep inclines or falls can effect fuel usage, especially for smaller engines. Uphill climbing takes more engine power and petrololine, whereas descending downhill may require more braking and fuel to regulate.

Rain, snow, and ice can impair road traction and vehicle stability. Adjusting speed and driving behavior can affect fuel consumption.

Good pavement and smooth roads use less fuel than rough or badly maintained roads. Smooth roads reduce rolling resistance and improve vehicle efficiency.

Road conditions greatly affect fuel use, so drivers' fuel economy may vary.
