What's the expense of traveling from Richmond upon Thames to Gateshead by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £49.1. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £24.55 (£49.1/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £16.37 (£49.1/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £12.28 (£49.1/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 281.5 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 281.5 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 34.1 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 34.1 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £49.1.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Richmond upon Thames to Gateshead amounts to £49.1.

Diesel cost from Richmond upon Thames to Gateshead.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 34.1 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 3 passengers: 11.37 £ (34.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 8.53 £ (34.1/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol fuel in terms of greater torque at lower RPM:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines typically produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic is due to the inherent design differences between diesel and petrol engines, particularly in their combustion processes and fuel properties. Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the air-fuel mixture ignites spontaneously under high pressure and temperature, allowing them to generate high torque even at low RPMs. This characteristic makes diesel vehicles well-suited for tasks requiring high pulling power, such as towing or hauling heavy loads, as they can deliver ample torque at low engine speeds.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines generally produce less torque at lower RPMs compared to diesel engines. While petrol engines can also deliver torque, they often require higher engine speeds to reach their maximum torque output. Petrol engines rely on spark ignition, where the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug, and this combustion process may not generate as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and variable valve timing, have improved torque delivery across a broader RPM range in modern petrol vehicles.
