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

The answer: £23.8. 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 £11.9 (£23.8 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £7.93 per passenger (£23.8 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £5.95 per passenger (£23.8 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 16.6 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £23.8 comes from for the journey from Chelmsford to Tamworth.
 

Diesel cost from Chelmsford to Tamworth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 16.5 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.25 £ (16.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.5 £ (16.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.13 £ (16.5/4) /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.
