For 2 passengers in carpooling, the cost of this trip is 36.1 £ (72.2/2) per passenger.
For 3 passengers in the car, the cost of this trip is 24.07 £ (72.2/3) per passenger.
For 4 passengers in the car, the cost of this trip are 18.05 £ (72.2/4) per passenger.


Fuel cost = (416.34 mi / 37.5 mpg) x 143 pence per liter = 72.2 £

In more detail, the result is obtained:

Fuel needed = Distance / Car fuel consumption = miles * 4.54609 / carConsumtion = 416.34 mi * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg = 50.5 liters

Fuel needed = 50.5 lt

Fuel cost = Fuel needed x Price per liter = 50.5 liters x 143 pence per liter = 72.2 £

Fuel cost from Edinburgh to Southend-on-Sea = 72.2 £

The trip with diesel fuel costs 45.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 22.8 £ (45.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.2 £ (45.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.4 £ (45.6/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
