How much does it cost to travel from Lancaster to Wokingham by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £42.2. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £21.1 (£42.2/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £14.07 per person (£42.2/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £10.55 per person (£42.2/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 241.64 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 241.64 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 29.3 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 29.3 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total comes to £42.2.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Lancaster to Wokingham amounts to £42.2.

Diesel cost from Lancaster to Wokingham.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 29.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 3 passengers: 9.77 £ (29.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.33 £ (29.3/4) /p.

Fuel efficiency of diesel and petrol: 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines use less fuel than petrol ones. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre or gallon than petrol, hence diesel engines can extract more energy. Diesel engines also have larger compression ratios, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance. 
Fuel efficiency is lower for petrol engines than diesel engines. Petrol is still an effective internal combustion engine fuel, but it has less energy density than diesel. This means petrol engines may need more fuel than diesel engines to function similarly. In recent years, turbocharging and direct injection have increased petrol engine fuel efficiency, closing the gap between petrol and diesel vehicles. 
Due to their higher energy density and thermal efficiency, diesel engines are more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. Diesel and petrol vehicle fuel efficiency can also be affected by driving habits, vehicle design, and other variables.
