How much does it cost to drive from Glasgow to Inverness?

For 2 passengers in carpooling, the cost of this trip is 14.65 £ (29.3/2) per passenger.
For 3 passengers in the car, the cost of this trip is 9.77 £ (29.3/3) per passenger.

Fuel cost = (168.88 mi / 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per liter = 29.3 £

In more detail, the result is obtained:

Fuel needed = Distance / Car fuel consumption = miles * 4.54609 / carConsumtion = 168.88 mi * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg = 20.5 liters

Fuel needed = 20.5 lt

Fuel cost = Fuel needed x Price per liter = 20.5 liters x 143 pence per liter = 29.3 £

Fuel cost from Glasgow to Inverness = 29.3 £

 

The quality of fuel can indeed affect car fuel consumption. The main reasons are:

  1. Fuel Efficiency: High-quality fuel with the proper blend of additives and detergents can help maintain engine cleanliness and efficiency. Clean engines tend to burn fuel more efficiently, resulting in better mileage and lower fuel consumption.

  2. Engine Performance: Lower-quality fuels may contain impurities or inconsistent blends, which can lead to incomplete combustion or engine knocking. This can reduce engine efficiency and increase fuel consumption.

  3. Engine Deposits: Low-quality fuels may leave deposits on engine components such as fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers. These deposits can interfere with proper fuel delivery and combustion, leading to reduced fuel efficiency and increased consumption.

  4. Emissions: Poor-quality fuels may produce higher levels of harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Inefficient combustion due to low-quality fuel can lead to increased emissions and may also affect engine performance and fuel consumption.

  5. Long-term Effects: Continued use of low-quality fuel can result in long-term engine damage and decreased fuel efficiency. Over time, engine deposits can accumulate and impair engine performance, leading to higher fuel consumption and repair costs.

In summary, using high-quality fuel that meets the manufacturer's specifications can help maintain engine efficiency, reduce emissions, and optimize fuel consumption.
