The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car chugs along at 37.5 miles per gallon.

So, that's the financial aspect of the journey.

Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of how we got these figures. The fuel cost calculation is based on how far you're traveling and how thirsty your car is. For this journey, you'd need about 15.5 liters of fuel. And that's where the £22.2 comes from for the trip from Swindon to Chelmsford.

Some things that affect car fuel consumption are:

  1. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, speeding, and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption.
