What's the expense of traveling from Reading to West Oxfordshire by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 6.7 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 3.35 quid each (£6.7 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 2.23 quid (£6.7 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 1.68 quid (£6.7 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Reading and West Oxfordshire is about 38.49 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 4.7 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (4.7 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 6.7 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Reading to West Oxfordshire: 6.7 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Reading to West Oxfordshire.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 4.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.1 £ (4.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.4 £ (4.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.05 £ (4.2/4) /p.

Diesel cars generally have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol cars for the following reasons:

  1. Higher Energy Density of Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter compared to petrol. This means that for the same volume of fuel, diesel engines can generate more power and travel a greater distance, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

  2. Increased Thermal Efficiency of Diesel Engines: Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios compared to petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel engines are typically more thermally efficient, translating into lower fuel consumption.

  3. Greater Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic allows diesel vehicles to maintain better fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising, as they require less throttle input to maintain speed.

These factors combined contribute to the generally lower fuel consumption observed in diesel cars compared to their petrol counterparts.
