How much is the expense of driving from Kingston upon Thames to South Somerset?

The expense of driving from Kingston upon Thames to South Somerset, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £20.3. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at 37.5 miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £10.15 (£20.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £6.77 per passenger (£20.3 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £5.08 per passenger (£20.3 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Kingston upon Thames to South Somerset, approximately 14.2 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 117.02 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £20.3 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

 

The following reasons can affect car fuel consumption:

  1. Traffic Congestion: Driving in heavy traffic often involves frequent stops and starts, as well as idling in traffic queues. This constant acceleration and deceleration can lead to increased fuel consumption compared to driving on open, free-flowing roads.

  2. Vehicle Weight: Carrying excess weight in the vehicle, such as heavy cargo or unnecessary items, can increase fuel consumption by putting additional strain on the engine. Removing unnecessary weight can improve fuel efficiency.

  3. Elevation Changes: Driving on roads with steep inclines or declines can affect fuel consumption, especially for vehicles with less powerful engines. Climbing uphill requires more power from the engine and thus more fuel, while descending downhill may require additional braking and fuel to maintain control.

  4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or strong winds can affect fuel consumption. These conditions may require drivers to adjust their speed and driving behavior, impacting fuel efficiency. Additionally, extreme temperatures can affect engine performance and fuel consumption.
