How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £99.3. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £49.65 (£99.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £33.1 per passenger (£99.3 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £24.83 per passenger (£99.3 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 68.9 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £99.3 comes from for the journey from Caerphilly to Elgin.
 

Diesel cost from Caerphilly to Elgin.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 68.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 34.4 £ (68.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 22.93 £ (68.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 17.2 £ (68.8/4) /p.

One key factor contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars is their higher thermal efficiency. Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, allowing them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. This increased efficiency means diesel vehicles can travel farther on the same amount of fuel compared to petrol vehicles, resulting in lower fuel consumption overall.
