What's the expense of traveling from Nottingham to Sheffield by car?
The trip fueled by petrol comes to £6.7. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.
For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £3.35 (£6.7/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £2.23 (£6.7/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £1.68 (£6.7/4).
To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:
Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 38.62 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 38.62 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 4.7 liters of fuel needed.
Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 4.7 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £6.7.
In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Nottingham to Sheffield amounts to £6.7.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 4.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.1 £ (4.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.4 £ (4.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.05 £ (4.2/4) /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.
