The distance between Reading and Pontypool is approximately 103.73 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 12.6 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 (12.6 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 18.1 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Reading to Pontypool is 18.1 pounds.
