What's the expense of traveling from Colchester to Lichfield by car?

Embarking on the journey from Colchester to Lichfield, one might ponder the cost of such a venture. Indeed, the expenditure amounts to 27.8 pounds when fueled by petrol. In this calculation, we delve into the intricate details, where the price of petrol stands at 143 pence per liter, and the car's thirst for fuel measures 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those opting for carpooling, the financial burden lightens, with a cost of 13.9 pounds for each of two passengers, 9.27 pounds for three passengers, and merely 6.95 pounds for four passengers.

Delving deeper into the mechanics of the calculation, we ascertain the amount of fuel required for the voyage. Covering a distance of approximately 160.37 miles, the car craves around 19.4 liters of petrol. This value is derived from the division of the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate, converted into liters for precision.

With the quantity of fuel determined, we proceed to compute the total expenditure. By multiplying the fuel volume (19.4 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), we seamlessly arrive at the grand total of 27.8 pounds. Thus, the journey from Colchester to Lichfield is marked by a fuel cost of 27.8 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Colchester to Lichfield.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.8 £ (17.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.87 £ (17.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.4 £ (17.6/4) /p.

When compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, diesel vehicles often have a lower fuel usage percentage for the following reasons:

Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline, meaning that it contains more energy per litre than gasoline does. Diesel engines are able to create more power and travel further for the same amount of gasoline, which results in a lower overall fuel consumption. This is because diesel engines also travel further.

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, which results in increased thermal efficiency for diesel engines. Because of this increased compression ratio, diesel engines are able to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual dose of fuel. Because of this, diesel engines are often more thermally efficient, which results in a reduction in the amount of fuel these engines consume.

Diesel engines have a tendency to produce higher torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This is because diesel engines are more efficient than petrol engines. Because diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, this trait enables diesel vehicles to retain superior fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising. This is especially true during the cruising phase.

In comparison to their gasoline-powered counterparts, diesel vehicles have a generally lower fuel consumption, which can be attributed to the combined effects of these particular characteristics.
