What's the expense of traveling from Bathgate to Dudley by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 48.8 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 24.4 quid each (£48.8 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 16.27 quid (£48.8 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 12.2 quid (£48.8 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Bathgate and Dudley is about 281.41 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 34.1 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (34.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 48.8 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Bathgate to Dudley: 48.8 pounds.
 


Diesel cost from Bathgate to Dudley.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 30.8 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 15.4 £ (30.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 10.27 £ (30.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.7 £ (30.8/4) /p.

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

  1. Petrol:

    • Petrol typically has an octane rating ranging from 87 to 95 in most markets.

    • Octane rating measures the fuel's resistance to premature detonation or knocking in spark-ignition engines.

    • Higher octane ratings are crucial for high-performance petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, as they help prevent engine knocking and allow for more efficient combustion.

  2. Diesel Fuel:

    • Diesel fuel doesn't have an octane rating in the same sense as petrol because it's not used in spark-ignition engines.

    • Diesel engines rely on compression ignition rather than spark ignition, meaning the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature.

    • Therefore, diesel fuel is designed to ignite under the high compression conditions found in diesel engines, and its properties are optimized for this type of combustion rather than for octane rating.

In essence, while petrol relies on octane rating to ensure proper combustion in spark-ignition engines, diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under the high-pressure conditions of compression ignition in diesel engines, rendering octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
