The petrol price we're talking about here is 143 pence per liter, and the car chugs along at 37.5 miles per gallon. Now, if you're thinking about carpooling with a couple of mates, each of you only has to fork out £12.3 for the trip (£24.6 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it's about £8.2 each (£24.6 divided by 3), and if you've got a full car of four, it's just £6.15 each (£24.6 divided by 4). So, that's the financial aspect of the journey.

Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of how we got these figures. The fuel cost calculation is based on how far you're traveling and how thirsty your car is. For this journey, you'd need about 17.2 liters of fuel. And that's where the £24.6 comes from for the trip from Gloucester to Chelmsford.

Diesel cost from Gloucester to Chelmsford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 15.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.75 £ (15.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.17 £ (15.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.88 £ (15.5/4) /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.
