First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 144 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 21.7 quid each (£43.4 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 14.47 quid (£43.4 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 10.85 quid (£43.4 divided by 4).
