What's the expense of traveling from Glasgow to Barry by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £70.1. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £35.05 (£70.1/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £23.37 (£70.1/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £17.53 (£70.1/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 404.22 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 404.22 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 49 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 49 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £70.1.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Glasgow to Barry amounts to £70.1.

Diesel cost from Glasgow to Barry.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 44.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 22.15 £ (44.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 14.77 £ (44.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.08 £ (44.3/4) /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.
