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

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £35.8. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £17.9 (£35.8/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £11.93 per person (£35.8/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £8.95 per person (£35.8/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 206.62 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 206.62 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 25 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 25 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £35.8.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Cardiff to Maldon amounts to £35.8.

 

Car consumption depends on several factors, like the following:

  1. Engine Optimization: Maintaining the engine's optimal performance through regular maintenance and tune-ups ensures efficient fuel combustion and minimizes fuel wastage.

  2. Aerodynamic Design: Designing vehicles with aerodynamic principles in mind reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency by minimizing air resistance, especially at higher speeds.

  3. Speed Management: Controlling vehicle speed within efficient ranges optimizes fuel consumption by reducing energy losses due to aerodynamic drag and friction.

  4. Environmental Adaptation: Considering driving conditions and environments, such as terrain and weather, allows for the adaptation of driving strategies to minimize fuel consumption under varying circumstances.

  5. Tire Technology: Utilizing advanced tire technology and maintaining proper tire pressure reduces rolling resistance, enhancing vehicle efficiency and fuel economy.
