How much does it cost to drive from Ipswich to Eastleigh with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Ipswich to Eastleigh. The journey using petrol will set you back 28.6 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 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 14.3 pounds (£28.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 9.53 pounds (£28.6 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 7.15 pounds (£28.6 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 Ipswich and Eastleigh is approximately 165.22 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 20 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 (20 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 28.6 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Ipswich to Eastleigh is 28.6 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Ipswich to Eastleigh.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 18.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 9.05 £ (18.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.03 £ (18.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.53 £ (18.1/4) /p.

Diesel fuel has more torque at lower RPM than petrol fuel. 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines create higher torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Due to diesel and petrol engine design variances in combustion processes and fuel characteristics, this occurs. Diesel engines create significant torque at low RPMs due to compression ignition, when the air-fuel mixture spontaneously ignites under high pressure and temperature. Diesel cars can deliver enough of torque at low engine speeds, making them ideal for towing and transporting heavy objects. 
Compared to diesel engines, petrol engines provide less torque at lower RPMs. Petrol engines can produce torque, but they need greater engine speeds. A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in petrol engines, which may not provide as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. Modern petrol automobiles have enhanced torque delivery across a wider RPM range because to turbocharging and variable valve timing. 
Overall, diesel engines have more torque at lower RPMs than petrol engines due to their combustion processes and engine designs. Diesel cars excel for high-pull and low-speed applications due to this trait.
