Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Melton to St Edmundsbury. The journey using petrol will set you back 17.9 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.
Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.
Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 8.95 pounds (£17.9 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 5.97 pounds (£17.9 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 4.48 pounds (£17.9 divided by 4).
Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Melton and St Edmundsbury is approximately 103.06 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 12.5 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.
Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (12.5 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 17.9 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Melton to St Edmundsbury is 17.9 pounds.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:
-
Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.
