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

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Liverpool to Wigan. The journey using petrol will set you back 4 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 2 pounds (£4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 1.33 pounds (£4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 1 pounds (£4 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 Wigan is approximately 22.91 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 2.8 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 (2.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Liverpool to Wigan is 4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Liverpool to Wigan.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 2.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 1.25 £ (2.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 0.83 £ (2.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.63 £ (2.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (gasoline) fuel in terms of how well they use fuel: 

Diesel Fuel: In general, diesel engines use less gas than petrol engines. This is mostly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are better at using heat. Compared to gasoline, diesel fuel has more energy per litre or gallon. This means that diesel engines can get more energy from each unit of fuel. Diesel engines also have higher compression ratios, which makes them even more thermally efficient. Because of this, diesel cars usually get better gas mileage and can go farther on a gallon or litre of gas than gasoline cars of the same size and speed. 
Petrol (petrol): Diesel engines use less fuel than petrol engines in general. Even though gas is still a good fuel for internal combustion engines, diesel fuel usually has a higher energy density. This suggests that gas engines might need more fuel to work as well as diesel engines. The difference between petrol and diesel cars has become smaller, though, thanks to improvements in petrol engine technology like turbocharging and direct injection. 
Overall, both diesel and gasoline engines can be used to get good gas mileage, but diesel engines tend to be better because they store energy more efficiently and cool down faster. But how people drive, how the car is built, and other things can also affect how much fuel a diesel or gas car uses.
