How much is the expense of driving from Edinburgh to Dover?

The expense of driving from Edinburgh to Dover using petrol amounts to £81.7. This computation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £40.85 (£81.7 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £27.23 per person (£81.7 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £20.43 per person (£81.7 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 57.2 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £81.7 for the trip from Edinburgh to Dover.
 

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Dover.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 51.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 25.8 £ (51.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 17.2 £ (51.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 12.9 £ (51.6/4) /p.

One key factor contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars is their higher thermal efficiency. Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, allowing them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. This increased efficiency means diesel vehicles can travel farther on the same amount of fuel compared to petrol vehicles, resulting in lower fuel consumption overall.
