What's the expense of traveling from Bedford to Cheltenham by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 15.8 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 7.9 quid each (£15.8 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 5.27 quid (£15.8 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 3.95 quid (£15.8 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 Bedford and Cheltenham is about 91.43 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 11.1 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 (11.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 15.8 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Bedford to Cheltenham: 15.8 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Bedford to Cheltenham.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 10 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 5 £ (10/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.33 £ (10/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.5 £ (10/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): In petrol engines, the ignition process begins with the introduction of an air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then generates a high-voltage electrical spark, which ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, initiating combustion. This method is known as spark ignition, as the spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the mixture.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Diesel engines operate on a different principle known as compression ignition. In these engines, air is compressed within the combustion chamber to a high temperature and pressure by the upward movement of the piston. This compression causes the diesel fuel, injected into the combustion chamber, to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. The high pressure and temperature created during compression cause the diesel fuel to combust, driving the power stroke of the engine.
