How much does it cost to travel from Cardiff to Bristol by car?

Fuel for the journey in the form of petrol costs 7.5 pounds. The gasoline price is assumed to be 143 pence per litre in the calculation above, and the vehicle's fuel consumption is 37.5 miles per gallon.
The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £3.75 (equivalent to 7.5/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 2.5 pounds (7.5/3) per passenger.
1.88 pounds (7.5/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(43.17 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 7.5 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)5.2 litres are consumed (43.17 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 5.2 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 5.2 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 7.5 pounds

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Bristol.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 4.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.35 £ (4.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.57 £ (4.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.18 £ (4.7/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Compression Ignition vs. Spark Ignition: Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature, while petrol engines rely on spark ignition from spark plugs. This fundamental difference in combustion processes leads to different engine designs and performance characteristics.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines tend to be more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, primarily due to their higher compression ratios and thermal efficiency. Diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, resulting in better fuel economy and lower fuel consumption.
