How much is the expense of driving from Hamilton to Chelmsford?

The expense of driving from Hamilton to Chelmsford, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £68.6. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 144 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 £34.3 (£68.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £22.87 per passenger (£68.6 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £17.15 per passenger (£68.6 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 Hamilton to Chelmsford, approximately 47.6 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 392.99 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 £68.6 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 Hamilton to Chelmsford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 47.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 23.8 £ (47.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.87 £ (47.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.9 £ (47.6/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Compression Ignition vs. Spark Ignition: Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature, while petrol engines rely on spark ignition from spark plugs. This fundamental difference in combustion processes leads to different engine designs and performance characteristics.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines tend to be more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, primarily due to their higher compression ratios and thermal efficiency. Diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, resulting in better fuel economy and lower fuel consumption.
