How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £25. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £12.5 (£25 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £8.33 per passenger (£25 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £6.25 per passenger (£25 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 17.4 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £25 comes from for the journey from Carlisle to Kirklees.
 

Diesel cost from Carlisle to Kirklees.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.4 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.7 £ (17.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.8 £ (17.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.35 £ (17.4/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Compression Ignition vs. Spark Ignition: Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature, while petrol engines rely on spark ignition from spark plugs. This fundamental difference in combustion processes leads to different engine designs and performance characteristics.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines tend to be more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, primarily due to their higher compression ratios and thermal efficiency. Diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, resulting in better fuel economy and lower fuel consumption.
