The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 183.63 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 183.63 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 22.3 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 22.3 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £31.8.

There are a bunch of reasons why your car drinks up petrol like nobody's business:

  1. How You Drive: If you're always flooring it, slamming on the brakes, or speeding like a maniac, you're gonna burn through petrol faster than if you take it easy.

  2. Car TLC: Keeping your ride in good shape with regular check-ups and stuff like oil changes and tire rotations can help it run more efficiently and sip less petrol.

  3. Car Type: Different cars have different petrol guzzling habits. So, the make, model, and size of your wheels can affect how much fuel you use.

  4. Where You Drive: Traffic jams, potholes, and hills can all suck up more petrol. So, cruising on a smooth highway is gonna be easier on your petrol tank than crawling through city streets.

  5. Fuel Quality: Cheap petrol might save you a few bucks at the pump, but it could end up costing you more in the long run if it's not good quality stuff.

  6. What You Carry: Loading up your car with a ton of stuff, like sports gear or camping gear, can weigh it down and make it thirstier for petrol.
