How much does it cost to drive from Leicester to Pontypool?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 23 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 11.5 quid each (£23 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 7.67 quid per person (£23 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 5.75 quid per person (£23 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 16.1 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 132.8 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 16.1 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Leicester to Pontypool: 23 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Leicester to Pontypool.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 14.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.25 £ (14.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.83 £ (14.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.63 £ (14.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel has more torque at lower RPM than petrol fuel. 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines create higher torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Due to diesel and petrol engine design variances in combustion processes and fuel characteristics, this occurs. Diesel engines create significant torque at low RPMs due to compression ignition, when the air-fuel mixture spontaneously ignites under high pressure and temperature. Diesel cars can deliver enough of torque at low engine speeds, making them ideal for towing and transporting heavy objects. 
Compared to diesel engines, petrol engines provide less torque at lower RPMs. Petrol engines can produce torque, but they need greater engine speeds. A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in petrol engines, which may not provide as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. Modern petrol automobiles have enhanced torque delivery across a wider RPM range because to turbocharging and variable valve timing. 
Overall, diesel engines have more torque at lower RPMs than petrol engines due to their combustion processes and engine designs. Diesel cars excel for high-pull and low-speed applications due to this trait.
