The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £8.3 (equivalent to 16.6/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 5.53 pounds (16.6/3) per passenger.
4.15 pounds (16.6/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(95.15 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 144 pence per litre for fuel equals 16.6 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)11.5 litres are consumed (95.15 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 11.5 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 11.5 litres x 144 pence per litre, or 16.6 pounds

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.
