How much does it cost to drive from Merton to Lichfield with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Merton to Lichfield. The journey using petrol will set you back 25.4 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 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 12.7 pounds (£25.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 8.47 pounds (£25.4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 6.35 pounds (£25.4 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 Merton and Lichfield is approximately 145.37 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 17.6 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 (17.6 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 25.4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Merton to Lichfield is 25.4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Merton to Lichfield.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.8 £ (17.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.87 £ (17.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.4 £ (17.6/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
