How much is the expense of driving from Plymouth to Elgin?

The expense of driving from Plymouth to Elgin using petrol amounts to £114. This computation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £57 (£114 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £38 per person (£114 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £28.5 per person (£114 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 79.7 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £114 for the trip from Plymouth to Elgin.
 

Diesel cost from Plymouth to Elgin.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 72 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 36 £ (72/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 24 £ (72/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 18 £ (72/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol fuel in terms of greater torque at lower RPM:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines typically produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic is due to the inherent design differences between diesel and petrol engines, particularly in their combustion processes and fuel properties. Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the air-fuel mixture ignites spontaneously under high pressure and temperature, allowing them to generate high torque even at low RPMs. This characteristic makes diesel vehicles well-suited for tasks requiring high pulling power, such as towing or hauling heavy loads, as they can deliver ample torque at low engine speeds.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines generally produce less torque at lower RPMs compared to diesel engines. While petrol engines can also deliver torque, they often require higher engine speeds to reach their maximum torque output. Petrol engines rely on spark ignition, where the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug, and this combustion process may not generate as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and variable valve timing, have improved torque delivery across a broader RPM range in modern petrol vehicles.
