This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at 37.5 miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £17.25 (£34.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £11.5 per passenger (£34.5 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £8.63 per passenger (£34.5 divided by 4).
