How much does it cost to drive from Maidstone to Dartford?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 3.9 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 1.95 quid each (£3.9 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 1.3 quid per person (£3.9 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 0.98 quid per person (£3.9 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 2.7 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 22.58 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 2.7 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Maidstone to Dartford: 3.9 quid.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 2.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 4 passengers: 0.63 £ (2.5/4) /p.


Generally, diesel engines typically consume less fuel than petrol engines when all other factors are held constant. This is mainly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are more thermally efficient. Diesel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are usually better at converting this energy into mechanical power. Moreover, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, enhancing their thermal efficiency and enabling them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Consequently, diesel vehicles often deliver superior fuel economy and can cover longer distances per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar specifications.
