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

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £72.8. 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 £36.4 (£72.8/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £24.27 per person (£72.8/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £18.2 per person (£72.8/4).

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 419.97 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 419.97 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 50.9 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 50.9 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £72.8.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Edinburgh to East Dorset amounts to £72.8.

For 4 passengers: 11.5 £ (46/4) /p.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel is known for its higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel contains more energy per volume than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can achieve better fuel efficiency and typically provide greater mileage per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol engines.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. This means that petrol contains less energy per volume than diesel. While petrol engines are still efficient, they tend to have slightly lower fuel efficiency and may offer shorter driving ranges compared to diesel engines due to this difference in energy density.
