The distance between Preston and Lancaster is approximately 21.66 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 2.6 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (2.6 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 3.8 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Preston to Lancaster is 3.8 pounds.
