What's the expense of traveling from Gloucester to Colwyn Bay by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £28.5. 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 £14.25 (£28.5/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £9.5 (£28.5/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £7.13 (£28.5/4).

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 164.16 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 164.16 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 19.9 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 19.9 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £28.5.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Gloucester to Colwyn Bay amounts to £28.5.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Emissions: Diesel fuel combustion typically produces higher levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to petrol combustion. However, advancements in diesel engine technology, such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, have significantly reduced emissions from modern diesel vehicles.

  2. Availability and Pricing: The availability and pricing of diesel fuel and petrol can vary by region and depend on factors such as government subsidies, taxes, and infrastructure. In some regions, diesel fuel may be more readily available or cheaper than petrol, influencing consumer choices and vehicle preferences.
