How much does it cost to drive from Edinburgh to Kirklees with petrol?

Driving from Edinburgh to Kirklees costs £40.6 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £20.3 per person. With three passengers, it's £13.53 per person, and with four passengers, it's £10.15 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 28.4 liters of fuel. This results in a £40.6 fuel cost for the journey.
 

 

The following reasons can affect car fuel consumption:

  1. Traffic Congestion: Driving in heavy traffic often involves frequent stops and starts, as well as idling in traffic queues. This constant acceleration and deceleration can lead to increased fuel consumption compared to driving on open, free-flowing roads.

  2. Vehicle Weight: Carrying excess 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.

  3. Elevation Changes: Driving on roads with steep inclines or declines can affect fuel consumption, especially for vehicles with less powerful engines. Climbing uphill requires more power from the engine and thus more fuel, while descending downhill may require additional braking and fuel to maintain control.

  4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or strong winds can affect fuel consumption. These conditions may require drivers to adjust their speed and driving behavior, impacting fuel efficiency. Additionally, extreme temperatures can affect engine performance and fuel consumption.
