How much does it cost to drive from Basildon to West Somerset with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Basildon to West Somerset. The journey using petrol will set you back 37.6 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 18.8 pounds (£37.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 12.53 pounds (£37.6 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 9.4 pounds (£37.6 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 Basildon and West Somerset is approximately 216.72 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 26.3 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 (26.3 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 37.6 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Basildon to West Somerset is 37.6 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Basildon to West Somerset.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 23.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.85 £ (23.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.9 £ (23.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.93 £ (23.7/4) /p.

In general, diesel engines tend to have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol engines, all else being equal. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are typically more efficient at converting that energy into mechanical work.

Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which improves their thermal efficiency and allows them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel vehicles often achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.
