How much does it cost to travel from Basildon to Wigan by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £39.1. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £19.55 (£39.1/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £13.03 per person (£39.1/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £9.78 per person (£39.1/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 225.72 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 225.72 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 27.4 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 27.4 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £39.1.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Basildon to Wigan amounts to £39.1.

Diesel cost from Basildon to Wigan.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 24.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 12.35 £ (24.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 8.23 £ (24.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.18 £ (24.7/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
