How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £27.2. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £13.6 (£27.2 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £9.07 per passenger (£27.2 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £6.8 per passenger (£27.2 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 19 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £27.2 comes from for the journey from Bournemouth to Cambridge.
 

Diesel cost from Bournemouth to Cambridge.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion creates more NOx and particulate matter than petrol combustion. This is due to diesel engine combustion and fuel composition. Modern diesel automobiles emit less due to particle filters and SCR systems. 
Compared to diesel combustion, petrol combustion produces less nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Petrol contains less contaminants than diesel, thus petrol engines generate fewer particles. Due to combustion processes and engine design, petrol engines may release less nitrogen oxides. 
While both diesel and petrol engines generate pollutants, diesel engines historically emitted more. Since pollution control technology have improved, current diesel and petrol vehicles can meet strict emissions criteria.
