How much does it cost to travel from Peterborough to Chelmsford by car?

Fuel for the journey in the form of petrol costs 14.5 pounds. The gasoline price is assumed to be 144 pence per litre in the calculation above, and the vehicle's fuel consumption is 37.5 miles per gallon.
The expense for two individuals participating in a carpool is £7.25 (equivalent to 14.5/2) per passenger.
The fare for this journey for three individuals in the vehicle is 4.83 pounds (14.5/3) per passenger.
3.63 pounds (14.5/4) per passenger is the expense of this journey for a car carrying four passengers.


(83.07 miles at 37.5 mpg) x 144 pence per litre for fuel equals 14.5 pounds.

To be more precise, the outcome is as follows:

Fuel Required = Distance / Vehicle Fuel Consumption (in miles multiplied by 4.54609 per vehicle)10.1 litres are consumed (83.07 miles * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg).

Required fuel = 10.1 lt

Fuel expenses are calculated as follows: 10.1 litres x 144 pence per litre, or 14.5 pounds

Diesel cost from Peterborough to Chelmsford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 10.1 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 5.05 £ (10.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.37 £ (10.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.53 £ (10.1/4) /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.
