Driving directions from Preston to Middlesbrough
What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Preston to Middlesbrough by car?
The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £17.7. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 143 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.
For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £8.85 (£17.7/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £5.9 (£17.7/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £4.43 (£17.7/4).
To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:
Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 102.35 miles, this computation entails multiplying 102.35 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 12.4 liters of fuel.
Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 12.4 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £17.7.
In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Preston to Middlesbrough stands at £17.7.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:
-
Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): In petrol engines, the ignition process begins with the introduction of an air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then generates a high-voltage electrical spark, which ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, initiating combustion. This method is known as spark ignition, as the spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the mixture.
-
Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Diesel engines operate on a different principle known as compression ignition. In these engines, air is compressed within the combustion chamber to a high temperature and pressure by the upward movement of the piston. This compression causes the diesel fuel, injected into the combustion chamber, to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. The high pressure and temperature created during compression cause the diesel fuel to combust, driving the power stroke of the engine.
