For 4 passengers in the car, the cost of this trip are 6.75 £ (27/4) per passenger.


Fuel cost = (154.62 mi / 37.5 mpg) x 144 pence per liter = 27 £

In more detail, the result is obtained:

Fuel needed = Distance / Car fuel consumption = miles * 4.54609 / carConsumtion = 154.62 mi * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg = 18.7 liters

Fuel needed = 18.7 lt

Fuel cost = Fuel needed x Price per liter = 18.7 liters x 144 pence per liter = 27 £

Fuel cost from Buckley to Swansea = 27 £

For 3 passengers: 6.23 £ (18.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.68 £ (18.7/4) /p.

Diesel cars generally have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol cars for the following reasons:

  1. Higher Energy Density of Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter compared to petrol. This means that for the same volume of fuel, diesel engines can generate more power and travel a greater distance, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

  2. Increased Thermal Efficiency of Diesel Engines: Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios compared to petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel engines are typically more thermally efficient, translating into lower fuel consumption.

  3. Greater Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic allows diesel vehicles to maintain better fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising, as they require less throttle input to maintain speed.

These factors combined contribute to the generally lower fuel consumption observed in diesel cars compared to their petrol counterparts.
