How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £28.1. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £14.05 (£28.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £9.37 per passenger (£28.1 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £7.03 per passenger (£28.1 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 19.7 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £28.1 comes from for the journey from Preston to South Northamptonshire.
 

Diesel cost from Preston to South Northamptonshire.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.8 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.9 £ (17.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.93 £ (17.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.45 £ (17.8/4) /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.
