How much is the expense of driving from Fareham to Colchester?

The expense of driving from Fareham to Colchester, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £25.6. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 144 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at 37.5 miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £12.8 (£25.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £8.53 per passenger (£25.6 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £6.4 per passenger (£25.6 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Fareham to Colchester, approximately 17.8 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 146.69 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £25.6 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

Diesel cost from Fareham to Colchester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.9 £ (17.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.93 £ (17.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.45 £ (17.8/4) /p.


Generally, diesel engines typically consume less fuel than petrol engines when all other factors are held constant. This is mainly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are more thermally efficient. Diesel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are usually better at converting this energy into mechanical power. Moreover, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, enhancing their thermal efficiency and enabling them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Consequently, diesel vehicles often deliver superior fuel economy and can cover longer distances per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar specifications.
