What's the expense of traveling from Elgin to Thanet by car?

Embarking on the journey from Elgin to Thanet, one might ponder the cost of such a venture. Indeed, the expenditure amounts to 113.5 pounds when fueled by petrol. In this calculation, we delve into the intricate details, where the price of petrol stands at 143 pence per liter, and the car's thirst for fuel measures 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those opting for carpooling, the financial burden lightens, with a cost of 56.75 pounds for each of two passengers, 37.83 pounds for three passengers, and merely 28.38 pounds for four passengers.

Delving deeper into the mechanics of the calculation, we ascertain the amount of fuel required for the voyage. Covering a distance of approximately 654.57 miles, the car craves around 79.4 liters of petrol. This value is derived from the division of the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate, converted into liters for precision.

With the quantity of fuel determined, we proceed to compute the total expenditure. By multiplying the fuel volume (79.4 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), we seamlessly arrive at the grand total of 113.5 pounds. Thus, the journey from Elgin to Thanet is marked by a fuel cost of 113.5 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Elgin to Thanet.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 71.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 35.85 £ (71.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 23.9 £ (71.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 17.93 £ (71.7/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
