The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car chugs along at 37.5 miles per gallon. Now, if you're thinking about carpooling with a couple of mates, each of you only has to fork out £7.15 for the trip (£14.3 divided by 2).

So, that's the financial aspect of the journey.

Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of how we got these figures. The fuel cost calculation is based on how far you're traveling and how thirsty your car is. For this journey, you'd need about 10 liters of fuel. And that's where the £14.3 comes from for the trip from Cardiff to South Somerset.

In summary, the total fuel cost for the journey is £14.3, factoring in the distance, petrol price, and car fuel consumption. Whether you're flying solo or sharing the ride with friends, knowing the breakdown of these costs can help you plan your trip and budget accordingly.
 

 

How much petrol a car uses depends in large part on the driver's habits. In this way: 

Increased fuel consumption might be a result of aggressive driving practices, including quick acceleration and frequent hard braking. More fuel efficiency is achieved with smooth, progressive acceleration and deceleration. 
Increased aerodynamic drag causes fuel consumption to rise with increasing speed. One way to save petrol is to keep your speed modest and constant. 
Leaving the engine running when stopped or waiting wastes petrololine; this is known as idling. To save petrol, turn off the engine when you're not moving for a long time. 
Using the Air Conditioner: Using the air conditioner at its highest setting can lead to an increase in fuel usage. You may conserve fuel by using the air conditioner rarely and by choosing natural ventilation when you can. 
Overloading: The engine has to work harder to move large goods or extraneous objects around, which increases fuel consumption. Fuel economy can be enhanced by reducing excess weight.
