What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Great Yarmouth to Colchester by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £12.6. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 144 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £6.3 (£12.6/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £4.2 (£12.6/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £3.15 (£12.6/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 72.12 miles, this computation entails multiplying 72.12 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 8.7 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 8.7 liters of fuel at a rate of 144 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £12.6.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Great Yarmouth to Colchester stands at £12.6.

Diesel cost from Great Yarmouth to Colchester.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 8.7 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.35 £ (8.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.9 £ (8.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.18 £ (8.7/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): Ignition is initiated by a spark plug igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Ignition occurs when the air-fuel mixture is compressed by the piston, leading to spontaneous combustion of diesel fuel without the need for a spark plug.
