How much does it cost to travel from Hamilton to Rotherham by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £39.9. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £19.95 (£39.9/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £13.3 per person (£39.9/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £9.98 per person (£39.9/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 228.44 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 228.44 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 27.7 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 27.7 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total comes to £39.9.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Hamilton to Rotherham amounts to £39.9.

Diesel cost from Hamilton to Rotherham.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 27.7 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 13.85 £ (27.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.23 £ (27.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.93 £ (27.7/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
