The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £15.2 (equivalent to 30.4/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 10.13 pounds (30.4/3) per passenger.
7.6 pounds (30.4/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(175.43 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 30.4 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)21.3 litres are consumed (175.43 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 21.3 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 21.3 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 30.4 pounds

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.
