How much is the expense of driving from Colchester to Leeds?

The expense of driving from Colchester to Leeds, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £36. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at 37.5 miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £18 (£36 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £12 per passenger (£36 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £9 per passenger (£36 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Colchester to Leeds, approximately 25.1 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 207.4 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £36 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

Diesel cost from Colchester to Leeds.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 22.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.35 £ (22.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.57 £ (22.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.68 £ (22.7/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
