What's the expense of traveling from Edinburgh to Harborough by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £54.9. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £27.45 (£54.9/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £18.3 (£54.9/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £13.73 (£54.9/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 316.43 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 316.43 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 38.4 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 38.4 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £54.9.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Edinburgh to Harborough amounts to £54.9.

 

Car consumption depends on several factors, like the following:

  1. Engine Optimization: Maintaining the engine's optimal performance through regular maintenance and tune-ups ensures efficient fuel combustion and minimizes fuel wastage.

  2. Aerodynamic Design: Designing vehicles with aerodynamic principles in mind reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency by minimizing air resistance, especially at higher speeds.

  3. Speed Management: Controlling vehicle speed within efficient ranges optimizes fuel consumption by reducing energy losses due to aerodynamic drag and friction.

  4. Environmental Adaptation: Considering driving conditions and environments, such as terrain and weather, allows for the adaptation of driving strategies to minimize fuel consumption under varying circumstances.

  5. Tire Technology: Utilizing advanced tire technology and maintaining proper tire pressure reduces rolling resistance, enhancing vehicle efficiency and fuel economy.
