How much does it cost to travel from Merthyr Tydfil to Dudley by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £18.2. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £9.1 (£18.2/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £6.07 per person (£18.2/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £4.55 per person (£18.2/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 105.21 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 105.21 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 12.8 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 12.8 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £18.2.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Merthyr Tydfil to Dudley amounts to £18.2.

 

Several factors can influence the cost of fuel when driving a car:

  1. Fuel Prices: The cost of fuel itself is a primary determinant of fuel expenses. Fluctuations in global oil prices, local taxes, and market demand can all influence fuel prices.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: The fuel efficiency of the vehicle plays a crucial role in determining fuel costs. Cars with higher fuel efficiency will consume less fuel per mile or kilometer traveled, resulting in lower fuel expenses.

  3. Driving Habits: Personal driving habits, such as aggressive acceleration, speeding, and frequent braking, can significantly impact fuel consumption. Adopting smooth driving practices and maintaining a steady speed can help improve fuel efficiency and reduce costs.

  4. Vehicle Maintenance: Proper maintenance of the vehicle, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups, is essential for optimal fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased fuel costs.

  5. Route Selection: The route taken during driving can affect fuel expenses. Opting for routes with lower speed limits, less traffic congestion, and fewer stops can help improve fuel efficiency and reduce costs compared to congested city routes.

  6. Vehicle Weight: Carrying excess weight in the vehicle, such as unnecessary cargo or roof racks, can increase fuel consumption. Removing unnecessary weight can improve fuel efficiency and lower fuel costs.
