What's the expense of traveling from Christchurch to Aberdare by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £24.2. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £12.1 (£24.2/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £8.07 (£24.2/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £6.05 (£24.2/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 138.38 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 138.38 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 16.8 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 16.8 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £24.2.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Christchurch to Aberdare amounts to £24.2.

Diesel cost from Christchurch to Aberdare.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 16.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.4 £ (16.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.6 £ (16.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.2 £ (16.8/4) /p.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
