What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Blackwood to Tamworth by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £21.5. 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 £10.75 (£21.5/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £7.17 (£21.5/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £5.38 (£21.5/4).

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 123.41 miles, this computation entails multiplying 123.41 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 15 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 15 liters of fuel at a rate of 144 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £21.5.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Blackwood to Tamworth stands at £21.5.

Diesel cost from Blackwood to Tamworth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 14.9 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.45 £ (14.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.97 £ (14.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.73 £ (14.9/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.

  2. Diesel Fuel: Doesn't have an octane rating as it's not used in spark-ignition engines. Diesel engines rely on compression ignition, so diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under high pressure, making octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
