This computation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £6.15 (£12.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £4.1 per person (£12.3 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £3.08 per person (£12.3 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate.
