What's the expense of traveling from Cardiff to Wiltshire by car?

Embarking on the journey from Cardiff to Wiltshire, one might ponder the cost of such a venture. Indeed, the expenditure amounts to 12.4 pounds when fueled by petrol. In this calculation, we delve into the intricate details, where the price of petrol stands at 143 pence per liter, and the car's thirst for fuel measures 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those opting for carpooling, the financial burden lightens, with a cost of 6.2 pounds for each of two passengers, 4.13 pounds for three passengers, and merely 3.1 pounds for four passengers.

Delving deeper into the mechanics of the calculation, we ascertain the amount of fuel required for the voyage. Covering a distance of approximately 71.32 miles, the car craves around 8.6 liters of petrol. This value is derived from the division of the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate, converted into liters for precision.

With the quantity of fuel determined, we proceed to compute the total expenditure. By multiplying the fuel volume (8.6 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), we seamlessly arrive at the grand total of 12.4 pounds. Thus, the journey from Cardiff to Wiltshire is marked by a fuel cost of 12.4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Cardiff to Wiltshire.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 7.8 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.9 £ (7.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.6 £ (7.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.95 £ (7.8/4) /p.

Diesel fuel has more torque at lower RPM than petrol fuel. 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines create higher torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Due to diesel and petrol engine design variances in combustion processes and fuel characteristics, this occurs. Diesel engines create significant torque at low RPMs due to compression ignition, when the air-fuel mixture spontaneously ignites under high pressure and temperature. Diesel cars can deliver enough of torque at low engine speeds, making them ideal for towing and transporting heavy objects. 
Compared to diesel engines, petrol engines provide less torque at lower RPMs. Petrol engines can produce torque, but they need greater engine speeds. A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in petrol engines, which may not provide as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. Modern petrol automobiles have enhanced torque delivery across a wider RPM range because to turbocharging and variable valve timing. 
Overall, diesel engines have more torque at lower RPMs than petrol engines due to their combustion processes and engine designs. Diesel cars excel for high-pull and low-speed applications due to this trait.
