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

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 76.9 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 38.45 quid each (£76.9 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 25.63 quid (£76.9 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 19.23 quid (£76.9 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Glasgow and Exeter is about 443.41 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 53.8 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (53.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 76.9 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Glasgow to Exeter: 76.9 pounds.
 


Diesel cost from Glasgow to Exeter.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 48.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 24.25 £ (48.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 16.17 £ (48.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 12.13 £ (48.5/4) /p.

Fuel efficiency of diesel and petrol: 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines use less fuel than petrol ones. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre or gallon than petrol, hence diesel engines can extract more energy. Diesel engines also have larger compression ratios, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance. 
Fuel efficiency is lower for petrol engines than diesel engines. Petrol is still an effective internal combustion engine fuel, but it has less energy density than diesel. This means petrol engines may need more fuel than diesel engines to function similarly. In recent years, turbocharging and direct injection have increased petrol engine fuel efficiency, closing the gap between petrol and diesel vehicles. 
Due to their higher energy density and thermal efficiency, diesel engines are more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. Diesel and petrol vehicle fuel efficiency can also be affected by driving habits, vehicle design, and other variables.
