How much does it cost to drive from Bathgate to Dumbarton with petrol?
Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Bathgate to Dumbarton. The journey using petrol will set you back 8.3 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 4.15 pounds (£8.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 2.77 pounds (£8.3 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 2.08 pounds (£8.3 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 Bathgate and Dumbarton is approximately 48.08 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 5.8 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 (5.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 8.3 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Bathgate to Dumbarton is 8.3 pounds.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:
-
Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.
-
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.
