What's the expense of traveling from Lichfield to Cardiff by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 22.6 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 11.3 quid each (£22.6 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 7.53 quid (£22.6 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 5.65 quid (£22.6 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Lichfield and Cardiff is about 130.61 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 15.8 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (15.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 22.6 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Lichfield to Cardiff: 22.6 pounds.
 

 

Driving habits can have a significant impact on car fuel consumption. Some explanations are below:

  1. Acceleration and Deceleration: Aggressive driving habits such as rapid acceleration and frequent hard braking can lead to increased fuel consumption. Smooth, gradual acceleration and deceleration are more fuel-efficient.

  2. Speeding: Driving at high speeds consumes more fuel due to increased aerodynamic drag. Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed can help conserve fuel.

  3. Idling: Leaving the engine running while parked or waiting unnecessarily burns fuel. Turning off the engine when stationary for extended periods can help reduce fuel consumption.

  4. Air Conditioning Usage: Running the air conditioning system at maximum settings can increase fuel consumption. Using the AC sparingly and opting for natural ventilation when possible can save fuel.

  5. Overloading: Carrying excessive 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.
