What's the expense of traveling from Bury to Colchester by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £41.9. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £20.95 (£41.9/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £13.97 (£41.9/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £10.48 (£41.9/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 241.66 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 241.66 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 29.3 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 29.3 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £41.9.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Bury to Colchester amounts to £41.9.

Diesel cost from Bury to Colchester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 26.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 13.25 £ (26.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 8.83 £ (26.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.63 £ (26.5/4) /p.


Generally, diesel engines typically consume less fuel than petrol engines when all other factors are held constant. This is mainly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are more thermally efficient. Diesel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are usually better at converting this energy into mechanical power. Moreover, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, enhancing their thermal efficiency and enabling them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Consequently, diesel vehicles often deliver superior fuel economy and can cover longer distances per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar specifications.
