How much does it cost to drive from New Forest to North Dorset with petrol?

Driving from New Forest to North Dorset costs £7.2 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £3.6 per person. With three passengers, it's £2.4 per person, and with four passengers, it's £1.8 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 5 liters of fuel. This results in a £7.2 fuel cost for the journey.
 

Diesel cost from New Forest to North Dorset.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 5 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.5 £ (5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.67 £ (5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.25 £ (5/4) /p.

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

  1. Petrol:

    • Petrol typically has an octane rating ranging from 87 to 95 in most markets.

    • Octane rating measures the fuel's resistance to premature detonation or knocking in spark-ignition engines.

    • Higher octane ratings are crucial for high-performance petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, as they help prevent engine knocking and allow for more efficient combustion.

  2. Diesel Fuel:

    • Diesel fuel doesn't have an octane rating in the same sense as petrol because it's not used in spark-ignition engines.

    • Diesel engines rely on compression ignition rather than spark ignition, meaning the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature.

    • Therefore, diesel fuel is designed to ignite under the high compression conditions found in diesel engines, and its properties are optimized for this type of combustion rather than for octane rating.

In essence, while petrol relies on octane rating to ensure proper combustion in spark-ignition engines, diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under the high-pressure conditions of compression ignition in diesel engines, rendering octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
