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

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Edinburgh to Leicester. The journey using petrol will set you back 53.3 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 26.65 pounds (£53.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 17.77 pounds (£53.3 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 13.33 pounds (£53.3 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Edinburgh and Leicester is approximately 307.58 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 37.3 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 (37.3 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 53.3 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Edinburgh to Leicester is 53.3 pounds.
