How much does it cost to drive from Oxford to Weymouth and Portland with petrol?
Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Oxford to Weymouth and Portland. The journey using petrol will set you back 21.4 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 10.7 pounds (£21.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 7.13 pounds (£21.4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.35 pounds (£21.4 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 Oxford and Weymouth and Portland is approximately 123.3 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 14.9 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 (14.9 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 21.4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Oxford to Weymouth and Portland is 21.4 pounds.
Some factors that can impact how much petrol your car consumes, are:
-
Tire Pressure: Believe it or not, keeping your tires properly inflated can make a big difference. Under-inflated tires create more resistance and require more fuel to keep your car rolling smoothly.
-
Speed: Zooming along at high speeds might be fun, but it's also a surefire way to guzzle petrol. Slowing down a bit can save you some serious cash at the pump.
-
Engine Condition: A well-maintained engine runs more efficiently, so make sure you're keeping up with those regular tune-ups and oil changes to keep your petrol usage in check.
-
Aerodynamics: The shape of your car can affect how much wind resistance it encounters, which in turn affects fuel consumption. Sporty cars with sleek designs might look cool, but they often have higher drag and use more petrol.
-
Driving Environment: Whether you're cruising on flat highways or tackling hilly terrain, your driving environment can impact fuel consumption. Plus, driving in extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or snow can also affect how much petrol you use.
