How much does it cost to travel from Birmingham to Wigan by car?

Fuel for the journey in the form of petrol costs 15.7 pounds. The gasoline price is assumed to be 143 pence per litre in the calculation above, and the vehicle's fuel consumption is 37.5 miles per gallon.
The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £7.85 (equivalent to 15.7/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 5.23 pounds (15.7/3) per passenger.
3.93 pounds (15.7/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(90.8 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 15.7 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)11 litres are consumed (90.8 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 11 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 11 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 15.7 pounds

Diesel cost from Birmingham to Wigan.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.95 £ (9.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.3 £ (9.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.48 £ (9.9/4) /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.
