Diesel cost from Motherwell to Musselburgh.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 4.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.45 £ (4.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.63 £ (4.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.23 £ (4.9/4) /p.

In general, diesel engines tend to have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol engines, all else being equal. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are typically more efficient at converting that energy into mechanical work.

Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which improves their thermal efficiency and allows them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel vehicles often achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.

Ultimately, the choice between diesel and petrol vehicles depends on various factors, including fuel economy preferences, driving patterns, environmental considerations, and local fuel prices and availability.
