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

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Stoke-on-Trent to Edinburgh. The journey using petrol will set you back 42.4 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 21.2 pounds (£42.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 14.13 pounds (£42.4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 10.6 pounds (£42.4 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 Edinburgh is approximately 244.5 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 29.6 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 (29.6 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 42.4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Stoke-on-Trent to Edinburgh is 42.4 pounds.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): Ignition is initiated by a spark plug igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
