How much is the expense of driving from Blackpool to Southend-on-Sea?

The expense of driving from Blackpool to Southend-on-Sea using petrol amounts to £47.2. This computation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £23.6 (£47.2 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £15.73 per person (£47.2 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £11.8 per person (£47.2 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 32.8 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £47.2 for the trip from Blackpool to Southend-on-Sea.
 

Diesel cost from Blackpool to Southend-on-Sea.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 32.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 16.4 £ (32.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 10.93 £ (32.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 8.2 £ (32.8/4) /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.
