What's the expense of traveling from Lancaster to Wellingborough by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £32.5. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £16.25 (£32.5/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £10.83 (£32.5/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £8.13 (£32.5/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 185.91 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 185.91 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 22.5 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 22.5 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £32.5.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Lancaster to Wellingborough amounts to £32.5.

Diesel cost from Lancaster to Wellingborough.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 22.5 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.25 £ (22.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.5 £ (22.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.63 £ (22.5/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
