With three passengers, it's approximately £8.7 per person (£26.1 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £6.53 per person (£26.1 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate.
