How much is the expense of driving from Kingston upon Thames to Three Rivers?

The expense of driving from Kingston upon Thames to Three Rivers using petrol amounts to £5.3. 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 £2.65 (£5.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £1.77 per person (£5.3 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £1.33 per person (£5.3 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 3.7 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £5.3 for the trip from Kingston upon Thames to Three Rivers.
 

Diesel cost from Kingston upon Thames to Three Rivers.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 3.4 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 1.7 £ (3.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.13 £ (3.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.85 £ (3.4/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol:

    • Petrol typically has an octane rating ranging from 87 to 95 in most markets.

    • Octane rating measures the fuel's resistance to premature detonation or knocking in spark-ignition engines.

    • Higher octane ratings are crucial for high-performance petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, as they help prevent engine knocking and allow for more efficient combustion.

  2. Diesel Fuel:

    • Diesel fuel doesn't have an octane rating in the same sense as petrol because it's not used in spark-ignition engines.

    • Diesel engines rely on compression ignition rather than spark ignition, meaning the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature.

    • Therefore, diesel fuel is designed to ignite under the high compression conditions found in diesel engines, and its properties are optimized for this type of combustion rather than for octane rating.

In essence, while petrol relies on octane rating to ensure proper combustion in spark-ignition engines, diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under the high-pressure conditions of compression ignition in diesel engines, rendering octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
