What's the expense of traveling from Merthyr Tydfil to Bellshill by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £65.7. 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 £32.85 (£65.7/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £21.9 (£65.7/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £16.43 (£65.7/4).

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 378.98 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 378.98 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 45.9 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 45.9 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £65.7.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Merthyr Tydfil to Bellshill amounts to £65.7.

 

Some things that affect car fuel consumption are:

  1. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, speeding, and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption.

  2. Vehicle Maintenance: Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups, ensures optimal fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased fuel consumption.

  3. Tire Pressure: Improperly inflated tires can increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Maintaining proper tire pressure helps optimize fuel efficiency.

  4. Air Conditioning Usage: Running the air conditioning system can increase engine load and fuel consumption, especially in stop-and-go traffic or during city driving. Minimizing AC usage when possible can help reduce fuel consumption.
