How much does it cost to drive from Christchurch to Plymouth?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 22.7 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 11.35 quid each (£22.7 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 7.57 quid per person (£22.7 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 5.68 quid per person (£22.7 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 15.9 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 130.78 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 15.9 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Christchurch to Plymouth: 22.7 quid.

 

 

Driving habits can have a significant impact on car fuel consumption. Some explanations are below:

  1. Acceleration and Deceleration: Aggressive driving habits such as rapid acceleration and frequent hard braking can lead to increased fuel consumption. Smooth, gradual acceleration and deceleration are more fuel-efficient.

  2. Speeding: Driving at high speeds consumes more fuel due to increased aerodynamic drag. Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed can help conserve fuel.

  3. Idling: Leaving the engine running while parked or waiting unnecessarily burns fuel. Turning off the engine when stationary for extended periods can help reduce fuel consumption.

  4. Air Conditioning Usage: Running the air conditioning system at maximum settings can increase fuel consumption. Using the AC sparingly and opting for natural ventilation when possible can save fuel.

  5. Overloading: Carrying excessive 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.
