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

Driving from Gloucester to Edinburgh costs £58 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £29 per person. With three passengers, it's £19.33 per person, and with four passengers, it's £14.5 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 40.5 liters of fuel. This results in a £58 fuel cost for the journey.
 

 

There are several reasons that affect fuel consumption when you drive. The most important are:

  1. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, speeding, and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption.

  2. Vehicle Maintenance: Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups, ensures optimal fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and higher fuel consumption.

  3. Vehicle Specifications: The make and model of the vehicle, engine size, weight, aerodynamics, and fuel efficiency rating all play a role in determining fuel consumption.

  4. Driving Conditions: Factors such as traffic congestion, road conditions, elevation changes, and weather conditions can affect fuel consumption. Stop-and-go driving in heavy traffic or driving uphill requires more fuel compared to steady highway driving on flat terrain.

  5. Fuel Quality: The quality of fuel used, including octane rating and the presence of additives, can impact fuel efficiency. Lower-quality fuels may lead to decreased efficiency and higher consumption.
