How much is the expense of driving from Islington to Carlisle?

The expense of driving from Islington to Carlisle, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £53.5. 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 £26.75 (£53.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £17.83 per passenger (£53.5 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £13.38 per passenger (£53.5 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 Islington to Carlisle, approximately 37.1 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 306.27 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 £53.5 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 Islington to Carlisle.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 37.1 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 18.55 £ (37.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 12.37 £ (37.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 9.28 £ (37.1/4) /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.
