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

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 32.1 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 16.05 quid each (£32.1 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 10.7 quid per person (£32.1 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 8.03 quid per person (£32.1 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 22.4 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 185.1 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 22.4 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 Stafford: 32.1 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Maidstone to Stafford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20.3 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

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.
