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

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Edinburgh to Perth. The journey using petrol will set you back 7.5 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 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 3.75 pounds (£7.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 2.5 pounds (£7.5 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 1.88 pounds (£7.5 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 Perth is approximately 43.23 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 5.2 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 (5.2 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 7.5 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Edinburgh to Perth is 7.5 pounds.
 

 

The fuel cost by car depend on several factors such as the distance traveled, the driving conditions (traffic jam, slow driving, normal driving, race driving), fuel consumption of the vehicle, condition of the vehicle, weather conditions and the current price of fuel.
