How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £12.4. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £6.2 (£12.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £4.13 per passenger (£12.4 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £3.1 per passenger (£12.4 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 8.7 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £12.4 comes from for the journey from Edinburgh to Arbroath.
 

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Arbroath.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 7.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.95 £ (7.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.63 £ (7.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.98 £ (7.9/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): In petrol engines, the ignition process begins with the introduction of an air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then generates a high-voltage electrical spark, which ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, initiating combustion. This method is known as spark ignition, as the spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the mixture.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Diesel engines operate on a different principle known as compression ignition. In these engines, air is compressed within the combustion chamber to a high temperature and pressure by the upward movement of the piston. This compression causes the diesel fuel, injected into the combustion chamber, to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. The high pressure and temperature created during compression cause the diesel fuel to combust, driving the power stroke of the engine.
