Let's dig into the math behind it. The fuel expenditure hinges on the distance covered and the car's efficiency. For this particular jaunt, you're looking at guzzling down roughly 46.9 liters of fuel. Crunching the numbers, that's where the £67.5 total comes from for the trip from Ayr to Reading.
 

Diesel cost from Ayr to Reading.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 46.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 23.4 £ (46.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.6 £ (46.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.7 £ (46.8/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.

  2. Diesel Fuel: Doesn't have an octane rating as it's not used in spark-ignition engines. Diesel engines rely on compression ignition, so diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under high pressure, making octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
