Fuel cost = (73.18 mi / 37.5 mpg) x 144 pence per liter = 12.8 £

In more detail, the result is obtained:

Fuel needed = Distance / Car fuel consumption = miles * 4.54609 / carConsumtion = 73.18 mi * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg = 8.9 liters

Fuel needed = 8.9 lt

Fuel cost = Fuel needed x Price per liter = 8.9 liters x 144 pence per liter = 12.8 £

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.

  2. Diesel Fuel: Doesn't have an octane rating as it's not used in spark-ignition engines. Diesel engines rely on compression ignition, so diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under high pressure, making octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
