How much does it cost to drive from Merton to Southend-on-Sea?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 8.6 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 144 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 4.3 quid each (£8.6 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 2.87 quid per person (£8.6 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 2.15 quid per person (£8.6 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 6 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 49.39 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 6 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 144 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Merton to Southend-on-Sea: 8.6 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Merton to Southend-on-Sea.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3 £ (6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2 £ (6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.5 £ (6/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol (Gasoline): Typically has an octane rating between 87 and 95, crucial for preventing engine knocking in spark-ignition engines.

  2. Diesel Fuel: Doesn't have an octane rating as it's not used in spark-ignition engines. Diesel engines rely on compression ignition, so diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under high pressure, making octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
