What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Wellingborough to Bathgate by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £59.2. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £29.6 (£59.2/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £19.73 (£59.2/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £14.8 (£59.2/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 341.76 miles, this computation entails multiplying 341.76 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 41.4 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 41.4 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £59.2.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Wellingborough to Bathgate stands at £59.2.

 

Road conditions affect fuel usage for the following reasons:

Surface Roughness: Potholes, fissures, and uneven pavement increase rolling resistance. This makes the tires work harder to maintain speed, increasing fuel consumption.

Tire-road surface friction increases with poor road conditions. Friction causes drag, which makes the engine work harder. Therefore, fuel usage might rise, especially at high speeds.

Traffic Congestion: Heavy traffic causes stops and idling in traffic queues. Constant acceleration and deceleration might increase fuel consumption compared to open roadways.

Elevation Changes: Steep inclines or falls can effect fuel usage, especially for smaller engines. Uphill climbing takes more engine power and petrololine, whereas descending downhill may require more braking and fuel to regulate.

Rain, snow, and ice can impair road traction and vehicle stability. Adjusting speed and driving behavior can affect fuel consumption.

Good pavement and smooth roads use less fuel than rough or badly maintained roads. Smooth roads reduce rolling resistance and improve vehicle efficiency.

Road conditions greatly affect fuel use, so drivers' fuel economy may vary.

Diesel cost from Wellingborough to Bathgate.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 37.4 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 18.7 £ (37.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 12.47 £ (37.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 9.35 £ (37.4/4) /p.
