What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Cardiff to Gloucester by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £10.8. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £5.4 (£10.8/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £3.6 (£10.8/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £2.7 (£10.8/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 62.11 miles, this computation entails multiplying 62.11 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 7.5 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 7.5 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £10.8.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Cardiff to Gloucester stands at £10.8.

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Gloucester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 6.8 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.4 £ (6.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.27 £ (6.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.7 £ (6.8/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
