For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £7.05 (£14.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £4.7 per person (£14.1 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £3.53 per person (£14.1 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate.

Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £14.1 for the trip from Cambridge to Coventry.
 

Diesel cost from Cambridge to Coventry.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.9 £ (9.8/2) /p.

For 4 passengers: 2.45 £ (9.8/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Energy Density: Diesel fuel generally has a higher energy density than petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or gallon compared to petrol, resulting in diesel engines being able to generate more power and travel further distances on the same volume of fuel.

  2. Octane Rating: Petrol typically has a higher octane rating compared to diesel fuel. Octane rating indicates the fuel's resistance to knocking or pre-ignition in spark-ignition engines. Higher octane ratings are required for petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, whereas diesel engines rely on compression ignition and do not use spark plugs.
