How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £32.1. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £16.05 (£32.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £10.7 per passenger (£32.1 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £8.03 per passenger (£32.1 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 22.3 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £32.1 comes from for the journey from Barrow-in-Furness to Dumbarton.
 

Diesel cost from Barrow-in-Furness to Dumbarton.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 22.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.15 £ (22.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.43 £ (22.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.58 £ (22.3/4) /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.
