How much does it cost to drive from Oxford to Tamworth with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Oxford to Tamworth. The journey using petrol will set you back 14.2 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 7.1 pounds (£14.2 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 4.73 pounds (£14.2 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 3.55 pounds (£14.2 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 Oxford and Tamworth is approximately 81.8 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 9.9 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 (9.9 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 14.2 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Oxford to Tamworth is 14.2 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Oxford to Tamworth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.5 £ (9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3 £ (9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.25 £ (9/4) /p.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
