What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Edinburgh to Cwmbran by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £65.5. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £32.75 (£65.5/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £21.83 (£65.5/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £16.38 (£65.5/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 377.57 miles, this computation entails multiplying 377.57 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 45.8 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 45.8 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £65.5.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Edinburgh to Cwmbran stands at £65.5.

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Cwmbran.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 41.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 20.65 £ (41.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 13.77 £ (41.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 10.33 £ (41.3/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
