The distance between East Kilbride and Ashford is approximately 459.49 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 55.7 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (55.7 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 80.2 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from East Kilbride to Ashford is 80.2 pounds.
