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

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £27.1. 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 £13.55 (£27.1/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £9.03 (£27.1/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £6.78 (£27.1/4).

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 156.18 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 156.18 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 18.9 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 18.9 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £27.1.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Christchurch to Neath amounts to £27.1.

Diesel cost from Christchurch to Neath.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.55 £ (17.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.7 £ (17.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.28 £ (17.1/4) /p.

Diesel fuel has more torque at lower RPM than petrol fuel. 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines create higher torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Due to diesel and petrol engine design variances in combustion processes and fuel characteristics, this occurs. Diesel engines create significant torque at low RPMs due to compression ignition, when the air-fuel mixture spontaneously ignites under high pressure and temperature. Diesel cars can deliver enough of torque at low engine speeds, making them ideal for towing and transporting heavy objects. 
Compared to diesel engines, petrol engines provide less torque at lower RPMs. Petrol engines can produce torque, but they need greater engine speeds. A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in petrol engines, which may not provide as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. Modern petrol automobiles have enhanced torque delivery across a wider RPM range because to turbocharging and variable valve timing. 
Overall, diesel engines have more torque at lower RPMs than petrol engines due to their combustion processes and engine designs. Diesel cars excel for high-pull and low-speed applications due to this trait.
