What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Cardiff to Newcastle upon Tyne by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £54.6. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £27.3 (£54.6/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £18.2 (£54.6/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £13.65 (£54.6/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 314.76 miles, this computation entails multiplying 314.76 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 38.2 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 38.2 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £54.6.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Cardiff to Newcastle upon Tyne stands at £54.6.

 

The following reasons can affect car fuel consumption:

  1. Traffic Congestion: Driving in heavy traffic often involves frequent stops and starts, as well as idling in traffic queues. This constant acceleration and deceleration can lead to increased fuel consumption compared to driving on open, free-flowing roads.

  2. Vehicle Weight: Carrying excess weight in the vehicle, such as heavy cargo or unnecessary items, can increase fuel consumption by putting additional strain on the engine. Removing unnecessary weight can improve fuel efficiency.

  3. Elevation Changes: Driving on roads with steep inclines or declines can affect fuel consumption, especially for vehicles with less powerful engines. Climbing uphill requires more power from the engine and thus more fuel, while descending downhill may require additional braking and fuel to maintain control.

  4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or strong winds can affect fuel consumption. These conditions may require drivers to adjust their speed and driving behavior, impacting fuel efficiency. Additionally, extreme temperatures can affect engine performance and fuel consumption.

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Newcastle upon Tyne.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 34.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 17.25 £ (34.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 11.5 £ (34.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 8.63 £ (34.5/4) /p.
