The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £12.75 (equivalent to 25.5/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 8.5 pounds (25.5/3) per passenger.

(147.34 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 25.5 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)17.9 litres are consumed (147.34 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 17.9 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 17.9 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 25.5 pounds

There are several reasons that affect fuel consumption when you drive. The most important are:

  1. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, speeding, and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption.

  2. Vehicle Maintenance: Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups, ensures optimal fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and higher fuel consumption.

  3. Vehicle Specifications: The make and model of the vehicle, engine size, weight, aerodynamics, and fuel efficiency rating all play a role in determining fuel consumption.

  4. Driving Conditions: Factors such as traffic congestion, road conditions, elevation changes, and weather conditions can affect fuel consumption. Stop-and-go driving in heavy traffic or driving uphill requires more fuel compared to steady highway driving on flat terrain.

  5. Fuel Quality: The quality of fuel used, including octane rating and the presence of additives, can impact fuel efficiency. Lower-quality fuels may lead to decreased efficiency and higher consumption.
