What's the expense of traveling from Peterborough to Cardiff by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £32.6. 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 £16.3 (£32.6/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £10.87 (£32.6/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £8.15 (£32.6/4).

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 188.29 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 188.29 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 22.8 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 22.8 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £32.6.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Peterborough to Cardiff amounts to £32.6.

Diesel cost from Peterborough to Cardiff.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.3 £ (20.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.87 £ (20.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.15 £ (20.6/4) /p.

In general, diesel engines tend to have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol engines, all else being equal. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are typically more efficient at converting that energy into mechanical work.

Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which improves their thermal efficiency and allows them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel vehicles often achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.
