How much does it cost to travel from Plymouth to Rotherham by car?
The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £50.2. 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 £25.1 (£50.2/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £16.73 per person (£50.2/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £12.55 per person (£50.2/4).
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 289.41 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 289.41 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 35.1 liters of fuel needed.
The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 35.1 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £50.2.
In conclusion, the fuel cost from Plymouth to Rotherham amounts to £50.2.
Air conditioning (AC) can affect automotive fuel consumption for the following reasons:
Engine Load: The engine compressor works harder to cool and circulate air when the AC is on. In city driving or when idling, this added workload might increase engine fuel consumption.
At high speeds, running the AC increases aerodynamic drag. This makes the engine work harder to maintain speed, increasing fuel consumption.
Accessory Load: When the AC is running, the blower fan and condenser fan also use engine power. Fuel consumption increases as the engine's electrical load grows.
Driving circumstances: AC affects fuel usage differently based on driving circumstances. AC use in stop-and-go traffic or at lower speeds may have a greater impact on fuel usage than highway travel.
Efficiency Settings: "Eco" mode or variable AC compressor speeds can minimize AC's fuel usage in some autos. These features improve fuel efficiency and interior cooling.
AC use might raise fuel consumption, but it's typically worth it for comfort, especially in hot weather. However, using the car's ventilation system or rolling down windows at lower speeds helps reduce AC usage and fuel consumption.
