Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 130.99 miles, this computation entails multiplying 130.99 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 15.9 liters of fuel.
Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 15.9 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £22.7.
In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Melton to Colchester stands at £22.7.
