What's the expense of traveling from Sheffield to Exeter by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £42.7. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £21.35 (£42.7/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £14.23 (£42.7/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £10.68 (£42.7/4).

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 246.05 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 246.05 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 29.8 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 29.8 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £42.7.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Sheffield to Exeter amounts to £42.7.

 

The following reasons can affect car fuel consumption:

  1. Traffic Congestion: Driving in heavy traffic often involves frequent stops and starts, as well as idling in traffic queues. This constant acceleration and deceleration can lead to increased fuel consumption compared to driving on open, free-flowing roads.

  2. Vehicle Weight: Carrying excess weight in the vehicle, such as heavy cargo or unnecessary items, can increase fuel consumption by putting additional strain on the engine. Removing unnecessary weight can improve fuel efficiency.

  3. Elevation Changes: Driving on roads with steep inclines or declines can affect fuel consumption, especially for vehicles with less powerful engines. Climbing uphill requires more power from the engine and thus more fuel, while descending downhill may require additional braking and fuel to maintain control.

  4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or strong winds can affect fuel consumption. These conditions may require drivers to adjust their speed and driving behavior, impacting fuel efficiency. Additionally, extreme temperatures can affect engine performance and fuel consumption.
