How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £45.9. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £22.95 (£45.9 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £15.3 per passenger (£45.9 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £11.48 per passenger (£45.9 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 31.9 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £45.9 comes from for the journey from Plymouth to Ashfield.
 

Diesel cost from Plymouth to Ashfield.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 31.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 15.9 £ (31.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 10.6 £ (31.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.95 £ (31.8/4) /p.

When comparing diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of octane rating, there's a significant distinction:

  1. Petrol:

    • Petrol typically has an octane rating ranging from 87 to 95 in most markets.

    • Octane rating measures the fuel's resistance to premature detonation or knocking in spark-ignition engines.

    • Higher octane ratings are crucial for high-performance petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, as they help prevent engine knocking and allow for more efficient combustion.

  2. Diesel Fuel:

    • Diesel fuel doesn't have an octane rating in the same sense as petrol because it's not used in spark-ignition engines.

    • Diesel engines rely on compression ignition rather than spark ignition, meaning the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature.

    • Therefore, diesel fuel is designed to ignite under the high compression conditions found in diesel engines, and its properties are optimized for this type of combustion rather than for octane rating.

In essence, while petrol relies on octane rating to ensure proper combustion in spark-ignition engines, diesel fuel is formulated to ignite under the high-pressure conditions of compression ignition in diesel engines, rendering octane rating irrelevant for diesel fuel.
