What's the cost of a drive from Cheltenham to Birmingham?

The journey, powered by petrol, sets you back £8.9. In this calculation, we're crunching numbers based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's thirst of 37.5 miles per gallon. If you're carpooling with a buddy, that's £4.45 each (£8.9 divided by 2). With a trio onboard, it drops to around £2.97 a head (£8.9 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's a mere £2.23 per person (£8.9 divided by 4).

Let's dig into the math behind it. The fuel expenditure hinges on the distance covered and the car's efficiency. For this particular jaunt, you're looking at guzzling down roughly 6.2 liters of fuel. Crunching the numbers, that's where the £8.9 total comes from for the trip from Cheltenham to Birmingham.
 

Diesel cost from Cheltenham to Birmingham.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 5.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.8 £ (5.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.87 £ (5.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.4 £ (5.6/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
