What's the expense of traveling from Cheltenham to Tunbridge Wells by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 24.5 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 12.25 quid each (£24.5 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 8.17 quid (£24.5 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 6.13 quid (£24.5 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Cheltenham and Tunbridge Wells is about 141.37 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 17.1 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (17.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 24.5 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Cheltenham to Tunbridge Wells: 24.5 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Cheltenham to Tunbridge Wells.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 15.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.75 £ (15.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.17 £ (15.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.88 £ (15.5/4) /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.
