If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 7.5 quid (£22.5 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 5.63 quid (£22.5 divided by 4).

The distance between Cardiff and Tamworth is about 129.78 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 15.7 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (15.7 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 22.5 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Cardiff to Tamworth: 22.5 pounds.
