How much does it cost to drive from Elgin to Braintree?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 94.3 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 47.15 quid each (£94.3 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 31.43 quid per person (£94.3 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 23.58 quid per person (£94.3 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 65.9 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 543.65 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 65.9 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Elgin to Braintree: 94.3 quid.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
