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 212.43 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 212.43 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 25.8 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 25.8 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £36.8.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Trafford to Edinburgh amounts to £36.8.
