What's the expense of traveling from Lewes to Cardiff by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £33.8. 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 £16.9 (£33.8/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £11.27 (£33.8/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £8.45 (£33.8/4).

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 193.88 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 193.88 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 23.5 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 23.5 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £33.8.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Lewes to Cardiff amounts to £33.8.

Diesel cost from Lewes to Cardiff.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 23.5 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.75 £ (23.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.83 £ (23.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.88 £ (23.5/4) /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.
