The distance between Merthyr Tydfil and Nottingham is approximately 157.43 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 19.1 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.
Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (19.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 27.3 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Merthyr Tydfil to Nottingham is 27.3 pounds.
