What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Bishopbriggs to Dumfries by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £14.2. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 144 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £7.1 (£14.2/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £4.73 (£14.2/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £3.55 (£14.2/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 81.43 miles, this computation entails multiplying 81.43 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 9.9 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 9.9 liters of fuel at a rate of 144 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £14.2.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Bishopbriggs to Dumfries stands at £14.2.

Diesel cost from Bishopbriggs to Dumfries.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9.9 £ (167p/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.

Fuel efficiency of diesel and petrol: 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines use less fuel than petrol ones. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre or gallon than petrol, hence diesel engines can extract more energy. Diesel engines also have larger compression ratios, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance. 
Fuel efficiency is lower for petrol engines than diesel engines. Petrol is still an effective internal combustion engine fuel, but it has less energy density than diesel. This means petrol engines may need more fuel than diesel engines to function similarly. In recent years, turbocharging and direct injection have increased petrol engine fuel efficiency, closing the gap between petrol and diesel vehicles. 
Due to their higher energy density and thermal efficiency, diesel engines are more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. Diesel and petrol vehicle fuel efficiency can also be affected by driving habits, vehicle design, and other variables.
