How much does it cost to drive from Liverpool to Portsmouth with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Liverpool to Portsmouth. The journey using petrol will set you back 44 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 22 pounds (£44 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 14.67 pounds (£44 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 11 pounds (£44 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Liverpool and Portsmouth is approximately 253.7 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 30.8 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (30.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 44 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Liverpool to Portsmouth is 44 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Liverpool to Portsmouth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 27.8 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 13.9 £ (27.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.27 £ (27.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.95 £ (27.8/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Energy Density: Diesel fuel generally has a higher energy density than petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or gallon compared to petrol, resulting in diesel engines being able to generate more power and travel further distances on the same volume of fuel.

  2. Octane Rating: Petrol typically has a higher octane rating compared to diesel fuel. Octane rating indicates the fuel's resistance to knocking or pre-ignition in spark-ignition engines. Higher octane ratings are required for petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, whereas diesel engines rely on compression ignition and do not use spark plugs.
