How much does it cost to drive from Newcastle upon Tyne to Musselburgh with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Newcastle upon Tyne to Musselburgh. The journey using petrol will set you back 19.7 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 9.85 pounds (£19.7 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 6.57 pounds (£19.7 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 4.93 pounds (£19.7 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Newcastle upon Tyne and Musselburgh is approximately 113.56 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 13.8 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (13.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 19.7 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Newcastle upon Tyne to Musselburgh is 19.7 pounds.
 


Diesel cost from Newcastle upon Tyne to Musselburgh.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 12.4 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 6.2 £ (12.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.13 £ (12.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.1 £ (12.4/4) /p.

One key factor contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars is their higher thermal efficiency. Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines, allowing them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. This increased efficiency means diesel vehicles can travel farther on the same amount of fuel compared to petrol vehicles, resulting in lower fuel consumption overall.
