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

The answer: £7.8. 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 £3.9 (£7.8 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £2.6 per passenger (£7.8 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £1.95 per passenger (£7.8 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 5.4 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £7.8 comes from for the journey from Chelmsford to St Edmundsbury.
 

Diesel cost from Chelmsford to St Edmundsbury.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 5.4 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.7 £ (5.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.8 £ (5.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.35 £ (5.4/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
