How much does it cost to drive from Elgin to Gloucester with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Elgin to Gloucester. The journey using petrol will set you back 88.6 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 44.3 pounds (£88.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 29.53 pounds (£88.6 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 22.15 pounds (£88.6 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Elgin and Gloucester is approximately 511.12 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 62 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (62 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 88.6 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Elgin to Gloucester is 88.6 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Elgin to Gloucester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 56 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 28 £ (56/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 18.67 £ (56/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 14 £ (56/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.

  2. Diesel Fuel: Doesn't have an octane rating as it's not used in spark-ignition engines. Diesel engines rely on compression ignition, so diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under high pressure, making octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
