What's the expense of traveling from Blackpool to Dartford by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 45.5 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 22.75 quid each (£45.5 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 15.17 quid (£45.5 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 11.38 quid (£45.5 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 Blackpool and Dartford is about 262.64 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 31.8 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 (31.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 45.5 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Blackpool to Dartford: 45.5 pounds.

For 2 passengers: 14.4 £ (28.8/2) /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.
