How much is the expense of driving from Livingston to South Bucks?

The expense of driving from Livingston to South Bucks, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £67. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £33.5 (£67 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £22.33 per passenger (£67 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £16.75 per passenger (£67 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Livingston to South Bucks, approximately 46.9 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 386.51 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £67 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

Diesel cost from Livingston to South Bucks.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 42.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 21.15 £ (42.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 14.1 £ (42.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 10.58 £ (42.3/4) /p.

When compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, diesel vehicles often have a lower fuel usage percentage for the following reasons:

Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline, meaning that it contains more energy per litre than gasoline does. Diesel engines are able to create more power and travel further for the same amount of gasoline, which results in a lower overall fuel consumption. This is because diesel engines also travel further.

Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, which results in increased thermal efficiency for diesel engines. Because of this increased compression ratio, diesel engines are able to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual dose of fuel. Because of this, diesel engines are often more thermally efficient, which results in a reduction in the amount of fuel these engines consume.

Diesel engines have a tendency to produce higher torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This is because diesel engines are more efficient than petrol engines. Because diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, this trait enables diesel vehicles to retain superior fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising. This is especially true during the cruising phase.

In comparison to their gasoline-powered counterparts, diesel vehicles have a generally lower fuel consumption, which can be attributed to the combined effects of these particular characteristics.
