How much is the expense of driving from Glenrothes to Gloucester?

The expense of driving from Glenrothes to Gloucester, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £64.1. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 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 £32.05 (£64.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £21.37 per passenger (£64.1 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £16.03 per passenger (£64.1 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 Glenrothes to Gloucester, approximately 44.8 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 369.75 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 £64.1 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 Glenrothes to Gloucester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 40.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 20.25 £ (40.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 13.5 £ (40.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 10.13 £ (40.5/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
