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

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Cambridge to Spelthorne. The journey using petrol will set you back 13.5 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 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 6.75 pounds (£13.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 4.5 pounds (£13.5 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 3.38 pounds (£13.5 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 Spelthorne is approximately 78.07 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 9.5 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 (9.5 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 13.5 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Cambridge to Spelthorne is 13.5 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Cambridge to Spelthorne.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 8.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.25 £ (8.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.83 £ (8.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.13 £ (8.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol fuel in terms of greater torque at lower RPM:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines typically produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic is due to the inherent design differences between diesel and petrol engines, particularly in their combustion processes and fuel properties. Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the air-fuel mixture ignites spontaneously under high pressure and temperature, allowing them to generate high torque even at low RPMs. This characteristic makes diesel vehicles well-suited for tasks requiring high pulling power, such as towing or hauling heavy loads, as they can deliver ample torque at low engine speeds.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines generally produce less torque at lower RPMs compared to diesel engines. While petrol engines can also deliver torque, they often require higher engine speeds to reach their maximum torque output. Petrol engines rely on spark ignition, where the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug, and this combustion process may not generate as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and variable valve timing, have improved torque delivery across a broader RPM range in modern petrol vehicles.
