How much does it cost to drive from Musselburgh to Hamilton?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 8.4 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 4.2 quid each (£8.4 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 2.8 quid per person (£8.4 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 2.1 quid per person (£8.4 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 5.9 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 48.38 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 5.9 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 Musselburgh to Hamilton: 8.4 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Musselburgh to Hamilton.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 5.9 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.95 £ (5.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.97 £ (5.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.48 £ (5.9/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
