How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £70.5. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £35.25 (£70.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £23.5 per passenger (£70.5 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £17.63 per passenger (£70.5 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 49.3 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £70.5 comes from for the journey from Colchester to Dunfermline.
 

Diesel cost from Colchester to Dunfermline.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 44.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 22.25 £ (44.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 14.83 £ (44.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.13 £ (44.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol fuel in terms of greater torque at lower RPM:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines typically produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic is due to the inherent design differences between diesel and petrol engines, particularly in their combustion processes and fuel properties. Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the air-fuel mixture ignites spontaneously under high pressure and temperature, allowing them to generate high torque even at low RPMs. This characteristic makes diesel vehicles well-suited for tasks requiring high pulling power, such as towing or hauling heavy loads, as they can deliver ample torque at low engine speeds.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines generally produce less torque at lower RPMs compared to diesel engines. While petrol engines can also deliver torque, they often require higher engine speeds to reach their maximum torque output. Petrol engines rely on spark ignition, where the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug, and this combustion process may not generate as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and variable valve timing, have improved torque delivery across a broader RPM range in modern petrol vehicles.
