How much does it cost to drive from Brentwood to Bournemouth with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Brentwood to Bournemouth. The journey using petrol will set you back 25.3 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 12.65 pounds (£25.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 8.43 pounds (£25.3 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 6.33 pounds (£25.3 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 Brentwood and Bournemouth is approximately 144.91 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 17.6 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 (17.6 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 25.3 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Brentwood to Bournemouth is 25.3 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Brentwood to Bournemouth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.8 £ (17.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.87 £ (17.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.4 £ (17.6/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Energy Density: Diesel fuel generally has a higher energy density than petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or gallon compared to petrol, resulting in diesel engines being able to generate more power and travel further distances on the same volume of fuel.

  2. Octane Rating: Petrol typically has a higher octane rating compared to diesel fuel. Octane rating indicates the fuel's resistance to knocking or pre-ignition in spark-ignition engines. Higher octane ratings are required for petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, whereas diesel engines rely on compression ignition and do not use spark plugs.
