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

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Edinburgh to West Dorset. The journey using petrol will set you back 73.2 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 36.6 pounds (£73.2 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 24.4 pounds (£73.2 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 18.3 pounds (£73.2 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 West Dorset is approximately 422.25 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 51.2 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 (51.2 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 73.2 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Edinburgh to West Dorset is 73.2 pounds.
 

 

Fuel consumption in automobiles can be affected by the following factors:

In severe traffic, drivers frequently have to stop and start their vehicles multiple times, and they also have to wait in traffic lines for extended periods of time. When compared to driving on open highways with the flow of traffic, this frequent acceleration and deceleration might contribute to an increase in the amount of fuel that is consumed.

It is possible to increase fuel consumption by carrying additional weight in the vehicle, such as large goods or objects that are not necessary. This is because the engine is put under additional pressure while the vehicle is carrying excess weight. Improving fuel economy can be accomplished by removing unneeded weight.

Elevation Changes: Driving on roads that have steep inclines or drops can have an effect on fuel usage, particularly for vehicles that have engines that are not as strong. During a descent downhill, it may be necessary to use greater braking and petrololine in order to maintain control, but climbing uphill takes more power from the engine, which in turn consumes more fuel.

Weather Conditions: Unfavourable weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or strong winds, can have an impact on the amount of petrololine that is consumed. It may be necessary for drivers to modify their speed and driving behaviour in response to these conditions, which will have an effect on fuel efficiency.

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to West Dorset.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 46.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 23.1 £ (46.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.4 £ (46.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.55 £ (46.2/4) /p.
