How much does it cost to drive from Chelmsford to Stafford?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 28.9 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 144 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 14.45 quid each (£28.9 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 9.63 quid per person (£28.9 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 7.23 quid per person (£28.9 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 20 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 165.34 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 20 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 144 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Chelmsford to Stafford: 28.9 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Chelmsford to Stafford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10 £ (20/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.67 £ (20/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5 £ (20/4) /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.
