What's the expense of traveling from Newcastle upon Tyne to Aberdeen by car?

Embarking on the journey from Newcastle upon Tyne to Aberdeen, one might ponder the cost of such a venture. Indeed, the expenditure amounts to 42.7 pounds when fueled by petrol. In this calculation, we delve into the intricate details, where the price of petrol stands at 143 pence per liter, and the car's thirst for fuel measures 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those opting for carpooling, the financial burden lightens, with a cost of 21.35 pounds for each of two passengers, 14.23 pounds for three passengers, and merely 10.68 pounds for four passengers.

Delving deeper into the mechanics of the calculation, we ascertain the amount of fuel required for the voyage. Covering a distance of approximately 246.23 miles, the car craves around 29.8 liters of petrol. This value is derived from the division of the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate, converted into liters for precision.

With the quantity of fuel determined, we proceed to compute the total expenditure. By multiplying the fuel volume (29.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), we seamlessly arrive at the grand total of 42.7 pounds. Thus, the journey from Newcastle upon Tyne to Aberdeen is marked by a fuel cost of 42.7 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Newcastle upon Tyne to Aberdeen.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 27 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 13.5 £ (27/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9 £ (27/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.75 £ (27/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
