What's the expense of traveling from Portsmouth to North Dorset by car?

Driving from Portsmouth to North Dorset costs £12 if you use petrol. Break it down. The automobile gets 37.5 mpg and costs 143 pence per litre.

Let's examine how we got these numbers. The fuel cost depends on your car's thirst and distance. About 8.4 litres of petrol are needed for this trip. This accounts for the £12 Portsmouth-North Dorset fare.

In all, the travel costs £12 due to distance, petrol price, and car fuel use. Knowing these prices can help you budget and organise your trip, whether you're flying alone or with company.
 

 

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.
