Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 37.75 pounds (£75.5 divided by 2).

The distance between Swansea and Dumbarton is approximately 435.5 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 52.8 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 (52.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 75.5 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Swansea to Dumbarton is 75.5 pounds.
