How much does it cost to drive from Newcastle upon Tyne to Cambridge with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Newcastle upon Tyne to Cambridge. The journey using petrol will set you back 40.6 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 20.3 pounds (£40.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 13.53 pounds (£40.6 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 10.15 pounds (£40.6 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Newcastle upon Tyne and Cambridge is approximately 234.13 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 28.4 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 (28.4 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 40.6 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Newcastle upon Tyne to Cambridge is 40.6 pounds.
 

 

Car consumption depends on several factors, like the following:

  1. Engine Optimization: Maintaining the engine's optimal performance through regular maintenance and tune-ups ensures efficient fuel combustion and minimizes fuel wastage.

  2. Aerodynamic Design: Designing vehicles with aerodynamic principles in mind reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency by minimizing air resistance, especially at higher speeds.

  3. Speed Management: Controlling vehicle speed within efficient ranges optimizes fuel consumption by reducing energy losses due to aerodynamic drag and friction.

  4. Environmental Adaptation: Considering driving conditions and environments, such as terrain and weather, allows for the adaptation of driving strategies to minimize fuel consumption under varying circumstances.

  5. Tire Technology: Utilizing advanced tire technology and maintaining proper tire pressure reduces rolling resistance, enhancing vehicle efficiency and fuel economy.
