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

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £20.7. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 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 £10.35 (£20.7/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £6.9 (£20.7/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £5.18 (£20.7/4).

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 119.62 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 119.62 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 14.5 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 14.5 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £20.7.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Christchurch to Luton amounts to £20.7.


Diesel cost from Christchurch to Luton.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 13.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 6.55 £ (13.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.37 £ (13.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.28 £ (13.1/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
