How much is the expense of driving from Penarth to Christchurch?

The expense of driving from Penarth to Christchurch, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £21.5. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 144 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at 37.5 miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £10.75 (£21.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £7.17 per passenger (£21.5 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £5.38 per passenger (£21.5 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Penarth to Christchurch, approximately 14.9 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 122.96 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £21.5 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

Diesel cost from Penarth to Christchurch.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 14.9 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 3 passengers: 4.97 £ (14.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.73 £ (14.9/4) /p.

The main reasons diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars are:

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel engines extract more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel automobiles have superior fuel economy than petrol ones.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles perform better in steady-state driving, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Thus, diesel cars have reduced fuel consumption, especially on highways.
