How much does it cost to drive from Plymouth to Swale with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Plymouth to Swale. The journey using petrol will set you back 45.7 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 22.85 pounds (£45.7 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 15.23 pounds (£45.7 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 11.43 pounds (£45.7 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Plymouth and Swale is approximately 263.72 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 32 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (32 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 45.7 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Plymouth to Swale is 45.7 pounds.

For 2 passengers: 14.45 £ (28.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.63 £ (28.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.23 £ (28.9/4) /p.

Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion creates more NOx and particulate matter than petrol combustion. This is due to diesel engine combustion and fuel composition. Modern diesel automobiles emit less due to particle filters and SCR systems. 
Compared to diesel combustion, petrol combustion produces less nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Petrol contains less contaminants than diesel, thus petrol engines generate fewer particles. Due to combustion processes and engine design, petrol engines may release less nitrogen oxides. 
While both diesel and petrol engines generate pollutants, diesel engines historically emitted more. Since pollution control technology have improved, current diesel and petrol vehicles can meet strict emissions criteria.
