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

The expense of driving from Plymouth to Medway using petrol amounts to £44.3. 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 £22.15 (£44.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £14.77 per person (£44.3 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £11.08 per person (£44.3 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 31 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £44.3 for the trip from Plymouth to Medway.
 

Diesel cost from Plymouth to Medway.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 28 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 14 £ (28/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.33 £ (28/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7 £ (28/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
