The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £11.05 (equivalent to 22.1/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 7.37 pounds (22.1/3) per passenger.
5.53 pounds (22.1/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(126.43 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 144 pence per litre for fuel equals 22.1 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)15.3 litres are consumed (126.43 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 15.3 lt

Diesel cost from Bristol to Bedford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 15.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.65 £ (15.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.1 £ (15.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.83 £ (15.3/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
