How much does it cost to drive from Pontypridd to Weymouth and Portland?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 23.5 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 144 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 11.75 quid each (£23.5 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 7.83 quid per person (£23.5 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 5.88 quid per person (£23.5 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 16.4 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 134.9 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 16.4 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 144 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Pontypridd to Weymouth and Portland: 23.5 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Pontypridd to Weymouth and Portland.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 16.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.15 £ (16.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.43 £ (16.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.08 £ (16.3/4) /p.

In general, diesel engines tend to have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol engines, all else being equal. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are typically more efficient at converting that energy into mechanical work.

Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which improves their thermal efficiency and allows them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel vehicles often achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.
