How much does it cost to travel from East Kilbride to Hamilton by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £1.1. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £0.55 (£1.1/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £0.37 per person (£1.1/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £0.28 per person (£1.1/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 6.1 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 6.1 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 0.7 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 0.7 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total comes to £1.1.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from East Kilbride to Hamilton amounts to £1.1.

For 3 passengers: 0.23 £ (0.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.18 £ (0.7/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Compression Ignition vs. Spark Ignition: Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature, while petrol engines rely on spark ignition from spark plugs. This fundamental difference in combustion processes leads to different engine designs and performance characteristics.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines tend to be more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, primarily due to their higher compression ratios and thermal efficiency. Diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, resulting in better fuel economy and lower fuel consumption.
