How much does it cost to travel from Glasgow to Tamworth by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £50.4. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £25.2 (£50.4/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £16.8 per person (£50.4/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £12.6 per person (£50.4/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 290.68 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 290.68 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 35.2 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 35.2 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £50.4.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Glasgow to Tamworth amounts to £50.4.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
