What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Purbeck to Melton by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £35.3. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £17.65 (£35.3/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £11.77 (£35.3/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £8.83 (£35.3/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 203.62 miles, this computation entails multiplying 203.62 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 24.7 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 24.7 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £35.3.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Purbeck to Melton stands at £35.3.

 

Things that affect car fuel consumption:

Fuel consumption increases with aggressive driving habits including speeding, accelerating, and braking.

Vehicle Maintenance: Oil changes, tyre rotations and engine tune-ups maximise fuel economy. Neglecting maintenance reduces fuel efficiency and increases consumption.

Poor tyre inflation increases rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Proper tyre pressure improves fuel economy.

Air conditioning use increases engine load and fuel consumption, especially in stop-and-go traffic or city travel. AC usage can be reduced to save fuel.

Diesel cost from Purbeck to Melton.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 22.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.15 £ (22.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.43 £ (22.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.58 £ (22.3/4) /p.
