How much does it cost to drive from Hillingdon to Watford with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Hillingdon to Watford. The journey using petrol will set you back 3.4 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 1.7 pounds (£3.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 1.13 pounds (£3.4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 0.85 pounds (£3.4 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Hillingdon and Watford is approximately 19.47 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 2.4 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (2.4 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 3.4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Hillingdon to Watford is 3.4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Hillingdon to Watford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 2.4 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 1.2 £ (2.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 0.8 £ (2.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.6 £ (2.4/4) /p.

One key factor contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars is their higher thermal efficiency. Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, allowing them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. This increased efficiency means diesel vehicles can travel farther on the same amount of fuel compared to petrol vehicles, resulting in lower fuel consumption overall.
