How much does it cost to travel from Plymouth to St Albans by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £38.8. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £19.4 (£38.8/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £12.93 per person (£38.8/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £9.7 per person (£38.8/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 223.73 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 223.73 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 27.1 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 27.1 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £38.8.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Plymouth to St Albans amounts to £38.8.

Diesel cost from Plymouth to St Albans.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 24.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 12.25 £ (24.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 8.17 £ (24.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.13 £ (24.5/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
