How much does it cost to drive from Edinburgh to Darlington?

Well, using petrol, it's £27.4. The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car guzzles up 37.5 miles per gallon. Now, if you're carpooling with two buddies, each of you only chips in £13.7 for the trip (£27.4 divided by 2). With three mates, it's about £9.13 each (£27.4 divided by 3), and if you've got a full car of four, it's only £6.85 each (£27.4 divided by 4). The fuel cost for the journey is calculated based on how far you're driving and how much fuel your car drinks up. So, for this journey, you'd need about 19.2 liters of fuel. And that's where the £27.4 comes from for the trip from Edinburgh to Darlington.

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Darlington.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.65 £ (17.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.77 £ (17.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.33 £ (17.3/4) /p.

Diesel cars generally have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol cars for the following reasons:

  1. Higher Energy Density of Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter compared to petrol. This means that for the same volume of fuel, diesel engines can generate more power and travel a greater distance, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

  2. Increased Thermal Efficiency of Diesel Engines: Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios compared to petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel engines are typically more thermally efficient, translating into lower fuel consumption.

  3. Greater Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic allows diesel vehicles to maintain better fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising, as they require less throttle input to maintain speed.

These factors combined contribute to the generally lower fuel consumption observed in diesel cars compared to their petrol counterparts.
