How much does it cost to drive from Pontypridd to Christchurch with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Pontypridd to Christchurch. The journey using petrol will set you back 22 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 11 pounds (£22 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 7.33 pounds (£22 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.5 pounds (£22 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 Pontypridd and Christchurch is approximately 126.97 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 15.4 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 (15.4 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 22 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Pontypridd to Christchurch is 22 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Pontypridd to Christchurch.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 13.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 3 passengers: 4.63 £ (13.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.48 £ (13.9/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): Ignition is initiated by a spark plug igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
