How much does it cost to drive from Portsmouth to Weymouth and Portland with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Portsmouth to Weymouth and Portland. The journey using petrol will set you back 14.1 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 7.05 pounds (£14.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 4.7 pounds (£14.1 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 3.53 pounds (£14.1 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 Portsmouth and Weymouth and Portland is approximately 81.41 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 9.9 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 (9.9 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 14.1 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Portsmouth to Weymouth and Portland is 14.1 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Portsmouth to Weymouth and Portland.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 8.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.45 £ (8.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.97 £ (8.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.23 £ (8.9/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
