What's the expense of traveling from Maidstone to Carlisle by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £60.9. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £30.45 (£60.9/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £20.3 (£60.9/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £15.23 (£60.9/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 351.04 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 351.04 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 42.6 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 42.6 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £60.9.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Maidstone to Carlisle amounts to £60.9.

 

Air conditioning (AC) can affect automotive fuel consumption for the following reasons:

Engine Load: The engine compressor works harder to cool and circulate air when the AC is on. In city driving or when idling, this added workload might increase engine fuel consumption.

At high speeds, running the AC increases aerodynamic drag. This makes the engine work harder to maintain speed, increasing fuel consumption.

Accessory Load: When the AC is running, the blower fan and condenser fan also use engine power. Fuel consumption increases as the engine's electrical load grows.

Driving circumstances: AC affects fuel usage differently based on driving circumstances. AC use in stop-and-go traffic or at lower speeds may have a greater impact on fuel usage than highway travel.

Efficiency Settings: "Eco" mode or variable AC compressor speeds can minimize AC's fuel usage in some autos. These features improve fuel efficiency and interior cooling.

AC use might raise fuel consumption, but it's typically worth it for comfort, especially in hot weather. However, using the car's ventilation system or rolling down windows at lower speeds helps reduce AC usage and fuel consumption.
