How much does it cost to drive from Birmingham to Chelmsford with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Birmingham to Chelmsford. The journey using petrol will set you back 24.5 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 12.25 pounds (£24.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 8.17 pounds (£24.5 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 6.13 pounds (£24.5 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 Birmingham and Chelmsford is approximately 141.39 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 17.1 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 (17.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 24.5 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Birmingham to Chelmsford is 24.5 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Birmingham to Chelmsford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 15.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.75 £ (15.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.17 £ (15.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.88 £ (15.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of emissions:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion generally produces higher levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to petrol combustion. This is due to the combustion characteristics of diesel engines, as well as the composition of diesel fuel. However, advancements in diesel engine technology, such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, have significantly reduced emissions from modern diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol combustion typically produces lower levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to diesel combustion. Petrol engines emit fewer particulates because petrol itself contains fewer impurities compared to diesel. Additionally, petrol engines may emit lower levels of nitrogen oxides due to differences in combustion processes and engine design.
