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 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 15.05 pounds (£30.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 10.03 pounds (£30.1 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 7.53 pounds (£30.1 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Swindon and Oldham is approximately 173.81 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 21.1 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 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 (21.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 30.1 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Swindon to Oldham is 30.1 pounds.
