What's the expense of traveling from Plymouth to Weymouth and Portland by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £17.2. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £8.6 (£17.2/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £5.73 (£17.2/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £4.3 (£17.2/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 99.12 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 99.12 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 12 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 12 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £17.2.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Plymouth to Weymouth and Portland amounts to £17.2.

 

How much fuel a car uses is directly related to how well its engine is oiled. How to do it: 

 

  • Efficiency: An engine that has been properly cared for and is in good shape works more efficiently, which means it can burn fuel more efficiently and use less of it to make the same amount of power. 
     
  • Combustion: If the fuel injectors are dirty, the air filters are jammed, or the spark plugs don't work right, the fuel may not burn all the way. This is called incomplete combustion. This wastes fuel and makes people use more of it. 
     
  • Fuel blend: For the engine to burn efficiently, the fuel-air blend needs to be carefully managed. Any changes from the right ratio, like when an oxygen monitor or fuel injector doesn't work right, can cause the engine to use more fuel than it should. 
     
  • Mechanical Wear: As an engine ages, parts inside it like piston rings, valves, and seals can wear out. This makes the engine less efficient and causes it to use more petrol. This wear can be lessened with regular upkeep, which can also help keep fuel use in check. 
     
  • Ignition Timing: If the ignition timing is off, it can cause inefficient combustion and higher fuel usage. This can be caused by a worn distributor or a broken ignition system. 
     

To sum up, the state of a car's engine is a major factor in how much fuel it uses. For the engine to work well and use little petrol, it needs to be serviced regularly and fixed quickly when something goes wrong.
