How much is the expense of driving from Manchester to Southend-on-Sea?

The expense of driving from Manchester to Southend-on-Sea using petrol amounts to £40.1. This computation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £20.05 (£40.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £13.37 per person (£40.1 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £10.03 per person (£40.1 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 28.1 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £40.1 for the trip from Manchester to Southend-on-Sea.
 

Diesel cost from Manchester to Southend-on-Sea.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 25.4 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 12.7 £ (25.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 8.47 £ (25.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.35 £ (25.4/4) /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.
