What's the expense of traveling from Ashford to Kirkcaldy and Dysart by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £79.7. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £39.85 (£79.7/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £26.57 (£79.7/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £19.93 (£79.7/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 459.94 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 459.94 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 55.8 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 55.8 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £79.7.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Ashford to Kirkcaldy and Dysart amounts to £79.7.

Diesel cost from Ashford to Kirkcaldy and Dysart.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 50.4 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 25.2 £ (50.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 16.8 £ (50.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 12.6 £ (50.4/4) /p.

When compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, diesel vehicles often have a lower fuel usage percentage for the following reasons:

Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline, meaning that it contains more energy per litre than gasoline does. Diesel engines are able to create more power and travel further for the same amount of gasoline, which results in a lower overall fuel consumption. This is because diesel engines also travel further.

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, which results in increased thermal efficiency for diesel engines. Because of this increased compression ratio, diesel engines are able to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual dose of fuel. Because of this, diesel engines are often more thermally efficient, which results in a reduction in the amount of fuel these engines consume.

Diesel engines have a tendency to produce higher torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This is because diesel engines are more efficient than petrol engines. Because diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, this trait enables diesel vehicles to retain superior fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising. This is especially true during the cruising phase.

In comparison to their gasoline-powered counterparts, diesel vehicles have a generally lower fuel consumption, which can be attributed to the combined effects of these particular characteristics.
