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

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £47.3. 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 £23.65 (£47.3/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £15.77 (£47.3/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £11.83 (£47.3/4).

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 273.16 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 273.16 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 33.1 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 33.1 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £47.3.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Colchester to Llanelli amounts to £47.3.

Diesel cost from Colchester to Llanelli.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 29.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 14.95 £ (29.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.97 £ (29.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.48 £ (29.9/4) /p.

One key factor contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars is their higher thermal efficiency. Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, allowing them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. This increased efficiency means diesel vehicles can travel farther on the same amount of fuel compared to petrol vehicles, resulting in lower fuel consumption overall.
