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

The journey from Cardiff to Greenwich by car comes with a price tag of £27.2 if you're using petrol. Let's break it down. The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car chugs along at 37.5 miles per gallon. Now, if you're thinking about carpooling with a couple of mates, each of you only has to fork out £13.6 for the trip (£27.2 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it's about £9.07 each (£27.2 divided by 3), and if you've got a full car of four, it's just £6.8 each (£27.2 divided by 4). So, that's the financial aspect of the journey.

Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of how we got these figures. The fuel cost calculation is based on how far you're traveling and how thirsty your car is. For this journey, you'd need about 19 liters of fuel. And that's where the £27.2 comes from for the trip from Cardiff to Greenwich.

In summary, the total fuel cost for the journey is £27.2, factoring in the distance, petrol price, and car fuel consumption. Whether you're flying solo or sharing the ride with friends, knowing the breakdown of these costs can help you plan your trip and budget accordingly.
 

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Greenwich.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.6 £ (17.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.73 £ (17.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.3 £ (17.2/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
