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

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £73.3. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £36.65 (£73.3/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £24.43 (£73.3/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £18.33 (£73.3/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 420.01 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 420.01 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 50.9 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 50.9 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £73.3.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Bathgate to Merton amounts to £73.3.

Diesel cost from Bathgate to Merton.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 50.9 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 25.45 £ (50.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 16.97 £ (50.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 12.73 £ (50.9/4) /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.
