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

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £43.2. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 144 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 £21.6 (£43.2/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £14.4 per person (£43.2/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £10.8 per person (£43.2/4).

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 247.75 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 247.75 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 30 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 30 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total comes to £43.2.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Cardiff to Norwich amounts to £43.2.
