How much does it cost to travel from Cardiff to Dundee by car?

Fuel for the journey in the form of petrol costs 79.8 pounds. The gasoline price is assumed to be 143 pence per litre in the calculation above, and the vehicle's fuel consumption is 37.5 miles per gallon.
The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £39.9 (equivalent to 79.8/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 26.6 pounds (79.8/3) per passenger.
19.95 pounds (79.8/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(460.39 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 79.8 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)55.8 litres are consumed (460.39 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 55.8 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 55.8 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 79.8 pounds

The utilization of air conditioning (AC) might impact automotive fuel efficiency due to the subsequent factors:

Engine Load: Activating the AC causes the compressor in the vehicle's engine to exert more effort in order to cool and distribute the air. The additional burden might augment the engine's fuel consumption, particularly during urban travel or when the vehicle is stationary.

Aerodynamic drag can be increased by running the AC, especially at higher speeds. Consequently, the increased resistance necessitates the engine to exert more effort in order to sustain velocity, leading to elevated fuel consumption.

Accessory Load: Besides the AC compressor, other electrical components like the blower fan and condenser fan also consume electricity from the engine when the AC is in operation. This results in an augmented electrical load on the engine, resulting in increased fuel consumption.

Driving Conditions: The effect of air conditioning (AC) on fuel consumption can differ based on the conditions in which you are driving. Using the air conditioning (AC) while driving at lower speeds or in stop-and-go traffic can have a greater impact on fuel consumption than when traveling on the highway.

Efficiency Settings: Certain vehicles are equipped with features such as "Eco" mode or variable AC compressor speeds, which can effectively mitigate the influence of air conditioning on fuel consumption. Utilizing these characteristics can enhance fuel efficiency while simultaneously maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the cabin.

In general, although utilizing the air conditioning system can slightly elevate fuel consumption, it is frequently a necessary compromise for the sake of comfort, particularly in hot weather. Nevertheless, reducing the use of air conditioning whenever feasible, such as utilizing the car's ventilation system or opening windows at lower velocities, can assist in lessening its influence on fuel consumption.
