How much is the expense of driving from Oldham to Chorley?

The expense of driving from Oldham to Chorley using petrol amounts to £5.1. This computation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £2.55 (£5.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £1.7 per person (£5.1 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £1.28 per person (£5.1 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 3.6 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £5.1 for the trip from Oldham to Chorley.
 

Diesel cost from Oldham to Chorley.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 3.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 1.6 £ (3.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.07 £ (3.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.8 £ (3.2/4) /p.

Diesel cars generally have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol cars for the following reasons:

  1. Higher Energy Density of Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter compared to petrol. This means that for the same volume of fuel, diesel engines can generate more power and travel a greater distance, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

  2. Increased Thermal Efficiency of Diesel Engines: Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios compared to petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel engines are typically more thermally efficient, translating into lower fuel consumption.

  3. Greater Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic allows diesel vehicles to maintain better fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising, as they require less throttle input to maintain speed.

These factors combined contribute to the generally lower fuel consumption observed in diesel cars compared to their petrol counterparts.
