How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £14.5. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £7.25 (£14.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £4.83 per passenger (£14.5 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £3.63 per passenger (£14.5 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 10.2 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £14.5 comes from for the journey from London to Peterborough.
 

Diesel cost from London to Peterborough.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 4 passengers: 2.3 £ (9.2/4) /p.

The main reasons diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars are:

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel engines extract more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel automobiles have superior fuel economy than petrol ones.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles perform better in steady-state driving, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Thus, diesel cars have reduced fuel consumption, especially on highways.
