How much does it cost to drive from Stoke-on-Trent to Bedford with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Stoke-on-Trent to Bedford. The journey using petrol will set you back 21.2 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 10.6 pounds (£21.2 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 7.07 pounds (£21.2 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.3 pounds (£21.2 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Stoke-on-Trent and Bedford is approximately 122.24 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 14.8 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (14.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 21.2 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Stoke-on-Trent to Bedford is 21.2 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Stoke-on-Trent to Bedford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 13.4 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 6.7 £ (13.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.47 £ (13.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.35 £ (13.4/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of emissions:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion generally results in higher emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to petrol combustion. This is primarily due to the combustion characteristics of diesel engines and the composition of diesel fuel. However, modern diesel vehicles incorporate advanced emission control technologies such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to mitigate these emissions effectively.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol combustion typically leads to lower emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to diesel combustion. This is because petrol itself contains fewer impurities, resulting in fewer emitted particulates. Additionally, petrol engines may emit lower levels of nitrogen oxides due to differences in combustion processes and engine design.

In summary, while both diesel and petrol engines emit pollutants, diesel engines historically produced higher emissions. Nevertheless, advancements in emission control technologies have enabled both diesel and petrol vehicles to meet strict emissions standards.
