How much does it cost to drive from Colchester to Mid Devon?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 44.7 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 22.35 quid each (£44.7 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 14.9 quid per person (£44.7 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 11.18 quid per person (£44.7 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 31.2 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 257.61 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 31.2 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Colchester to Mid Devon: 44.7 quid.

Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of fuel efficiency:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon compared to petrol, allowing diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which further improves their thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles typically achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines are generally less fuel-efficient than diesel engines. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it typically has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. This means that petrol engines may require more fuel to achieve the same level of performance as diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and direct injection, have improved fuel efficiency in recent years, narrowing the gap between petrol and diesel vehicles.
