How much does it cost to drive from Gloucester to Ipswich?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 31.8 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 15.9 quid each (£31.8 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 10.6 quid per person (£31.8 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 7.95 quid per person (£31.8 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 22.2 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 183.45 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 22.2 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Gloucester to Ipswich: 31.8 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Gloucester to Ipswich.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.05 £ (20.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.7 £ (20.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.03 £ (20.1/4) /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.
