With three mates, it's about £23 each (£69 divided by 3), and if you've got a full car of four, it's only £17.25 each (£69 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 48.2 liters of fuel. And that's where the £69 comes from for the trip from Edinburgh to London.

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to London.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 43.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 21.75 £ (43.5/2) /p.

For 4 passengers: 10.88 £ (43.5/4) /p.

In general, diesel engines tend to have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol engines, all else being equal. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are typically more efficient at converting that energy into mechanical work.

Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which improves their thermal efficiency and allows them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel vehicles often achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.
