The petrol price under discussion is 144 pence per litre, while the car's fuel efficiency is 37.5 miles per gallon. If you are considering carpooling with a few friends, each person just needs to contribute £7.75 for the journey (£15.5 divided by 2). When there are three people in the car, each person will pay approximately £5.17 (£15.5 divided by 3). If there are four people in the car, each person would pay £3.88 (£15.5 divided by 4). Thus, that encompasses the financial facet of the expedition.

Now, let's delve into the intricate details of how we obtained these figures. The gasoline cost calculation is determined by the distance of your travel and the fuel efficiency of your car. To complete this journey, you would require approximately 10.7 litres of fuel. And that's the source of the £15.5 fare for the journey from Bristol to Birmingham.

The whole fuel expenditure for the trip amounts to £15.5, taking into account the distance travelled, the price of petrol, and the fuel efficiency of the car. Regardless of whether you are travelling alone or with companions, understanding the breakdown of these expenses may assist you in organising your journey and managing your finances effectively.
 

Diesel cost from Bristol to Birmingham.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 10.7 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 5.35 £ (10.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.57 £ (10.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.68 £ (10.7/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
