How much is the expense of driving from Preston to Brighton?

The expense of driving from Preston to Brighton, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £48.6. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at 37.5 miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £24.3 (£48.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £16.2 per passenger (£48.6 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £12.15 per passenger (£48.6 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Preston to Brighton, approximately 34 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 280.5 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £48.6 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

 

Mind of the following to protect your car from over fuel consumption.

  1. Engine Condition: Taking care of your engine with regular tune-ups and oil changes keeps it running smoothly, which means it uses fuel more efficiently.

  2. Aerodynamics: The shape of your car matters more than you think. Sleek designs might look cool, but they can create more wind resistance and burn through petrol faster.

  3. Speed: Slow down, speed racer! Driving at high speeds not only puts you at risk of a ticket but also burns up more petrol. Ease off the pedal a bit and watch those fuel savings add up.

  4. Driving Environment: Whether you're cruising down a straight highway or navigating winding roads, your driving environment can affect how much petrol you use. Plus, extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or snow can also impact fuel consumption.

  5. Tire Pressure: Don't forget to check those tire pressures regularly! Properly inflated tires reduce resistance and help your car roll more smoothly, saving you fuel in the process.
