How much does it cost to drive from Cheltenham to Braintree?

Well, using petrol, it's £25.2. The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car guzzles up 37.5 miles per gallon. Now, if you're carpooling with two buddies, each of you only chips in £12.6 for the trip (£25.2 divided by 2). With three mates, it's about £8.4 each (£25.2 divided by 3), and if you've got a full car of four, it's only £6.3 each (£25.2 divided by 4). The fuel cost for the journey is calculated based on how far you're driving and how much fuel your car drinks up. So, for this journey, you'd need about 17.6 liters of fuel. And that's where the £25.2 comes from for the trip from Cheltenham to Braintree.

Diesel cost from Cheltenham to Braintree.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 15.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.95 £ (15.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.3 £ (15.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.98 £ (15.9/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol:

    • Petrol typically has an octane rating ranging from 87 to 95 in most markets.

    • Octane rating measures the fuel's resistance to premature detonation or knocking in spark-ignition engines.

    • Higher octane ratings are crucial for high-performance petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, as they help prevent engine knocking and allow for more efficient combustion.

  2. Diesel Fuel:

    • Diesel fuel doesn't have an octane rating in the same sense as petrol because it's not used in spark-ignition engines.

    • Diesel engines rely on compression ignition rather than spark ignition, meaning the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature.

    • Therefore, diesel fuel is designed to ignite under the high compression conditions found in diesel engines, and its properties are optimized for this type of combustion rather than for octane rating.

In essence, while petrol relies on octane rating to ensure proper combustion in spark-ignition engines, diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under the high-pressure conditions of compression ignition in diesel engines, rendering octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
