How much does it cost to drive from Cambridge to Cwmbran with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Cambridge to Cwmbran. The journey using petrol will set you back 30.7 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 15.35 pounds (£30.7 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 10.23 pounds (£30.7 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 7.68 pounds (£30.7 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Cambridge and Cwmbran is approximately 176.06 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 21.3 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (21.3 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 30.7 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Cambridge to Cwmbran is 30.7 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Cambridge to Cwmbran.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 21.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.65 £ (21.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.1 £ (21.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.33 £ (21.3/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): In petrol engines, the ignition process begins with the introduction of an air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then generates a high-voltage electrical spark, which ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, initiating combustion. This method is known as spark ignition, as the spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the mixture.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Diesel engines operate on a different principle known as compression ignition. In these engines, air is compressed within the combustion chamber to a high temperature and pressure by the upward movement of the piston. This compression causes the diesel fuel, injected into the combustion chamber, to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. The high pressure and temperature created during compression cause the diesel fuel to combust, driving the power stroke of the engine.
