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

Fuel for the journey in the form of petrol costs 69 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 £34.5 (equivalent to 69/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 23 pounds (69/3) per passenger.
17.25 pounds (69/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(397.88 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 69 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)48.2 litres are consumed (397.88 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 48.2 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 48.2 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 69 pounds

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Paisley.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 43.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 21.8 £ (43.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 14.53 £ (43.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 10.9 £ (43.6/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
