How much is the expense of driving from Inverness to Cardiff?

The expense of driving from Inverness to Cardiff using petrol amounts to £95. This computation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £47.5 (£95 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £31.67 per person (£95 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £23.75 per person (£95 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 66.4 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £95 for the trip from Inverness to Cardiff.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 60 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 30 £ (60/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 20 £ (60/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 15 £ (60/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
