How much does it cost to drive from Braintree to Purbeck with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Braintree to Purbeck. The journey using petrol will set you back 30.9 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 15.45 pounds (£30.9 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 10.3 pounds (£30.9 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 7.73 pounds (£30.9 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Braintree and Purbeck is approximately 177.16 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 21.5 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (21.5 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 30.9 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Braintree to Purbeck is 30.9 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Braintree to Purbeck.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 21.5 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.75 £ (21.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.17 £ (21.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.38 £ (21.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
