When there are three people in the car, each person will pay approximately £12.27 (£36.8 divided by 3). If there are four people in the car, each person would pay £9.2 (£36.8 divided by 4). Thus, that encompasses the financial facet of the expedition.

Now, let's delve into the intricate details of how we obtained these figures. The gasoline cost calculation is determined by the distance of your travel and the fuel efficiency of your car. To complete this journey, you would require approximately 25.7 litres of fuel. And that's the source of the £36.8 fare for the journey from Edinburgh to Manchester.

The whole fuel expenditure for the trip amounts to £36.8, taking into account the distance travelled, the price of petrol, and the fuel efficiency of the car.

Diesel cost from Edinburgh to Manchester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 23.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.6 £ (23.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.73 £ (23.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.8 £ (23.2/4) /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.
