How much does it cost to travel from Cambridge to London by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £11. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £5.5 (£11/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £3.67 per person (£11/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £2.75 per person (£11/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 62.79 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 62.79 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 7.6 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 7.6 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total comes to £11.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Cambridge to London amounts to £11.

Diesel cost from Cambridge to London.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 7.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.8 £ (7.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.53 £ (7.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.9 £ (7.6/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.

  2. Diesel Fuel: Doesn't have an octane rating as it's not used in spark-ignition engines. Diesel engines rely on compression ignition, so diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under high pressure, making octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
