How much does it cost to drive from Cheltenham to Blackwood with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Cheltenham to Blackwood. The journey using petrol will set you back 12.4 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 6.2 pounds (£12.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 4.13 pounds (£12.4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 3.1 pounds (£12.4 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Cheltenham and Blackwood is approximately 71.37 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 8.7 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (8.7 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 12.4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Cheltenham to Blackwood is 12.4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Cheltenham to Blackwood.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 7.8 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.9 £ (7.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.6 £ (7.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.95 £ (7.8/4) /p.

When compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, diesel vehicles often have a lower fuel usage percentage for the following reasons:

Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline, meaning that it contains more energy per litre than gasoline does. Diesel engines are able to create more power and travel further for the same amount of gasoline, which results in a lower overall fuel consumption. This is because diesel engines also travel further.

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, which results in increased thermal efficiency for diesel engines. Because of this increased compression ratio, diesel engines are able to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual dose of fuel. Because of this, diesel engines are often more thermally efficient, which results in a reduction in the amount of fuel these engines consume.

Diesel engines have a tendency to produce higher torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This is because diesel engines are more efficient than petrol engines. Because diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, this trait enables diesel vehicles to retain superior fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising. This is especially true during the cruising phase.

In comparison to their gasoline-powered counterparts, diesel vehicles have a generally lower fuel consumption, which can be attributed to the combined effects of these particular characteristics.
