How much does it cost in petrol to travel 3.7 miles?

To calculate the cost of petrol for a 3.7-mile trip, we need to know the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, the petrol price per gallon, and the distance. Here's a step-by-step calculation assuming an average fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon (mpg) and petrol price of £6 per gallon:

1. Calculate the fuel consumption for the trip:

Fuel consumption = Distance / Fuel efficiency

Fuel consumption = 3.7 miles / 35 mpg

Fuel consumption ≈ 0.106 gallons

2. Determine the cost of petrol based on its price:

Cost of petrol = Fuel consumption × Petrol price

Cost of petrol = 0.106 gallons × £6 per gallon

Cost of petrol ≈ £0.64

Therefore, the petrol cost for a 3.7-mile trip with a 35 mpg vehicle and petrol at £6 per gallon is approximately £0.64.

Please note that this calculation provides an estimate and can vary based on actual fuel efficiency, traffic conditions, and petrol prices.
