The fuel cost for the journey is calculated based on how far you're driving and how much fuel your car drinks up. So, for this journey, you'd need about 20 liters of fuel. And that's where the £28.6 comes from for the trip from Merthyr Tydfil to Richmond upon Thames.


Diesel cost from Merthyr Tydfil to Richmond upon Thames.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 18.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 9.05 £ (18.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.03 £ (18.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.53 £ (18.1/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
