How much does it cost to drive from Plymouth to Cambridge with petrol?

Driving from Plymouth to Cambridge costs £46.2 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £23.1 per person. With three passengers, it's £15.4 per person, and with four passengers, it's £11.55 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 32.3 liters of fuel. This results in a £46.2 fuel cost for the journey.
 

 

The fuel economy is highly sensitive to the state of the vehicle. In this way:

The effectiveness of the engine's fuel combustion and its overall consumption are both improved with regular engine maintenance. Maintaining your engine with routine oil changes, air filter replacements, and tune-ups will keep it running at its best.

Problems with the fuel system, including blocked injectors or a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, can cause petrololine to burn improperly and increase consumption. Preventing such problems requires regular maintenance and rapid repairs.

Problems with tires: When the tires are worn down or not inflated properly, the vehicle has to use more energy (and fuel) to go forward because of the increased rolling resistance. You may enhance your fuel efficiency by changing worn-out tires and keeping them properly inflated.

Aerodynamics: If the body of the vehicle is dented or has panels that aren't flush with the body, airflow will be disrupted and aerodynamic drag will increase, resulting in increased fuel consumption. The best aerodynamic performance is possible with a well-maintained vehicle body.

Diesel cost from Plymouth to Cambridge.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 29.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 14.6 £ (29.2/2) /p.
