The cost of fuel is equal to (152.48 miles / 37.5 miles per gallon) multiplied by 144 pence a litre, which is 26.6 pounds.

A more in-depth explanation of the result is as follows:

Fuel usage is miles multiplied by 4.54609 divided by the distance travelled by the vehicle.Consumption is 152.48 miles multiplied by 4.54609 divided by 37.5 miles per gallon, which equals 18.5 litres

It takes 18.5 litres of fuel.

The cost of fuel is equal to the amount of fuel required multiplied by the price per litre, which is 18.5 litres multiplied by 144 pence a litre, which is 26.6 pounds.

For 3 passengers: 6.17 £ (18.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.63 £ (18.5/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
