How much does it cost to travel from Swindon to Watford by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £14.4. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £7.2 (£14.4/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £4.8 per person (£14.4/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £3.6 per person (£14.4/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 82.85 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 82.85 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 10 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 10 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £14.4.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Swindon to Watford amounts to £14.4.

 

There are several reasons that affect fuel consumption when you drive. The most important are:

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

  2. Vehicle Maintenance: Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups, ensures optimal fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and higher fuel consumption.

  3. Vehicle Specifications: The make and model of the vehicle, engine size, weight, aerodynamics, and fuel efficiency rating all play a role in determining fuel consumption.

  4. Driving Conditions: Factors such as traffic congestion, road conditions, elevation changes, and weather conditions can affect fuel consumption. Stop-and-go driving in heavy traffic or driving uphill requires more fuel compared to steady highway driving on flat terrain.

  5. Fuel Quality: The quality of fuel used, including octane rating and the presence of additives, can impact fuel efficiency. Lower-quality fuels may lead to decreased efficiency and higher consumption.
