What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Bristol to Reading by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £13.4. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £6.7 (£13.4/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £4.47 (£13.4/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £3.35 (£13.4/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 77.3 miles, this computation entails multiplying 77.3 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 9.4 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 9.4 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £13.4.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Bristol to Reading stands at £13.4.

Diesel cost from Bristol to Reading.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 8.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.25 £ (8.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.83 £ (8.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.13 £ (8.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel has more torque at lower RPM than petrol fuel. 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines create higher torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Due to diesel and petrol engine design variances in combustion processes and fuel characteristics, this occurs. Diesel engines create significant torque at low RPMs due to compression ignition, when the air-fuel mixture spontaneously ignites under high pressure and temperature. Diesel cars can deliver enough of torque at low engine speeds, making them ideal for towing and transporting heavy objects. 
Compared to diesel engines, petrol engines provide less torque at lower RPMs. Petrol engines can produce torque, but they need greater engine speeds. A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in petrol engines, which may not provide as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. Modern petrol automobiles have enhanced torque delivery across a wider RPM range because to turbocharging and variable valve timing. 
Overall, diesel engines have more torque at lower RPMs than petrol engines due to their combustion processes and engine designs. Diesel cars excel for high-pull and low-speed applications due to this trait.
