What's the expense of traveling from Rotherham to Canterbury by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £38.7. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £19.35 (£38.7/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £12.9 (£38.7/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £9.68 (£38.7/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 223.38 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 223.38 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of mpg, resulting in 27.1 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 27.1 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £38.7.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Rotherham to Canterbury amounts to £38.7.

 

There are a bunch of reasons why your car drinks up petrol like nobody's business:

  1. How You Drive: If you're always flooring it, slamming on the brakes, or speeding like a maniac, you're gonna burn through petrol faster than if you take it easy.

  2. Car TLC: Keeping your ride in good shape with regular check-ups and stuff like oil changes and tire rotations can help it run more efficiently and sip less petrol.

  3. Car Type: Different cars have different petrol guzzling habits. So, the make, model, and size of your wheels can affect how much fuel you use.

  4. Where You Drive: Traffic jams, potholes, and hills can all suck up more petrol. So, cruising on a smooth highway is gonna be easier on your petrol tank than crawling through city streets.

  5. Fuel Quality: Cheap petrol might save you a few bucks at the pump, but it could end up costing you more in the long run if it's not good quality stuff.

  6. What You Carry: Loading up your car with a ton of stuff, like sports gear or camping gear, can weigh it down and make it thirstier for petrol.
