How much does it cost to drive from Cardiff to Poole?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 19.4 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 9.7 quid each (£19.4 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 6.47 quid per person (£19.4 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 4.85 quid per person (£19.4 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 13.5 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 111.74 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 13.5 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Cardiff to Poole: 19.4 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Poole.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 12.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 6.1 £ (12.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.07 £ (12.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.05 £ (12.2/4) /p.

One key factor contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars is their higher thermal efficiency. Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, allowing them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. This increased efficiency means diesel vehicles can travel farther on the same amount of fuel compared to petrol vehicles, resulting in lower fuel consumption overall.
