How much does it cost to drive from Poole to Preston?

Well, using petrol, it's £47.9. The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car guzzles up 37.5 miles per gallon. Now, if you're carpooling with two buddies, each of you only chips in £23.95 for the trip (£47.9 divided by 2). With three mates, it's about £15.97 each (£47.9 divided by 3), and if you've got a full car of four, it's only £11.98 each (£47.9 divided by 4). The fuel cost for the journey is calculated based on how far you're driving and how much fuel your car drinks up. So, for this journey, you'd need about 33.5 liters of fuel. And that's where the £47.9 comes from for the trip from Poole to Preston.

 

A lot of things can have a big effect on how much petrol a car uses, but the most common ones are: 

 

  • Driving Habits: Aggressive driving habits like speeding, accelerating quickly, and stopping and starting often can use a lot more petrol. 
     
  • Maintenance on Your Vehicle: Regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups are all parts of good maintenance that keep your car running at its best. If you don't do upkeep, your car may use more petrol and be less efficient with it. 
     
  • Car Type: Some of the things that affect how much fuel a car uses are its make and model, its engine size, its weight, its aerodynamics, and its fuel economy rating. 
     
  • Conditions of the Road: Things like traffic jams, bad roads, changes in elevation, and the weather can all affect how much petrol you use. It takes more petrol to drive stop-and-go in heavy traffic or uphill than to drive steadily on a highway on flat ground. 
     
  • Importance of Fuel Quality: The octane number and additives in the fuel can affect how well it works. Fuels of lower quality may make engines less efficient and cause them to use more fuel. 
     
  • Route: The path you take can change how much petrol you use. It is possible to use less petrol by choosing roads with slower speed limits, less traffic, and fewer stops. 
     
  • Cargo: Having extra weight in the car, like big cargo or roof racks, makes the aerodynamic drag higher and needs more fuel to keep the speed constant, which means higher fuel use.
