How much does it cost to travel from Edinburgh to Croydon by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £72.2. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 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 £36.1 (£72.2/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £24.07 per person (£72.2/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £18.05 per person (£72.2/4).

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 416.55 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 416.55 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 50.5 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 50.5 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £72.2.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Edinburgh to Croydon amounts to £72.2.

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Croydon.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 45.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 22.8 £ (45.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.2 £ (45.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.4 £ (45.6/4) /p.


Generally, diesel engines typically consume less fuel than petrol engines when all other factors are held constant. This is mainly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are more thermally efficient. Diesel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are usually better at converting this energy into mechanical power. Moreover, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, enhancing their thermal efficiency and enabling them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Consequently, diesel vehicles often deliver superior fuel economy and can cover longer distances per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar specifications.
