What's the expense of traveling from Leicester to Thurrock by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 21.4 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 10.7 quid each (£21.4 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 7.13 quid (£21.4 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 5.35 quid (£21.4 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Leicester and Thurrock is about 123.33 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 15 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (15 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 21.4 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Leicester to Thurrock: 21.4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Leicester to Thurrock.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 13.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 6.75 £ (13.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.5 £ (13.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.38 £ (13.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of fuel efficiency:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon compared to petrol, allowing diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which further improves their thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles typically achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines are generally less fuel-efficient than diesel engines. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it typically has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. This means that petrol engines may require more fuel to achieve the same level of performance as diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and direct injection, have improved fuel efficiency in recent years, narrowing the gap between petrol and diesel vehicles.
