How much does it cost to travel from Kettering to Trafford by car?

Fuel for the journey in the form of petrol costs 22.2 pounds. The gasoline price is assumed to be 143 pence per litre in the calculation above, and the vehicle's fuel consumption is miles per gallon.
The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £11.1 (equivalent to 22.2/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 7.4 pounds (22.2/3) per passenger.
5.55 pounds (22.2/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(128.17 miles at mpg) x 143 pence per litre for fuel equals 22.2 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)15.5 litres are consumed (128.17 miles * 4.54609 / mpg).

Required fuel = 15.5 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 15.5 litres x 143 pence per litre, or 22.2 pounds

The trip with diesel fuel costs 14 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7 £ (14/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.67 £ (14/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.5 £ (14/4) /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.
