What's the expense of traveling from Cardiff to Caerphilly by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 1.8 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 0.9 quid each (£1.8 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 0.6 quid (£1.8 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 0.45 quid (£1.8 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Cardiff and Caerphilly is about 10.41 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 1.3 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (1.3 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 1.8 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Cardiff to Caerphilly: 1.8 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Caerphilly.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 1.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 0.55 £ (1.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 0.37 £ (1.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.28 £ (1.1/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of emissions:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion generally results in higher emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to petrol combustion. This is primarily due to the combustion characteristics of diesel engines and the composition of diesel fuel. However, modern diesel vehicles incorporate advanced emission control technologies such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to mitigate these emissions effectively.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol combustion typically leads to lower emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to diesel combustion. This is because petrol itself contains fewer impurities, resulting in fewer emitted particulates. Additionally, petrol engines may emit lower levels of nitrogen oxides due to differences in combustion processes and engine design.

In summary, while both diesel and petrol engines emit pollutants, diesel engines historically produced higher emissions. Nevertheless, advancements in emission control technologies have enabled both diesel and petrol vehicles to meet strict emissions standards.
