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

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 13.2 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 144 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 6.6 quid each (£13.2 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 4.4 quid (£13.2 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 3.3 quid (£13.2 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Richmond upon Thames and Swindon is about 75.52 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 9.2 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (9.2 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence), and you get 13.2 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Richmond upon Thames to Swindon: 13.2 pounds.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9.2 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 3 passengers: 3.07 £ (9.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.3 £ (9.2/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Energy Density: Diesel fuel generally has a higher energy density than petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or gallon compared to petrol, resulting in diesel engines being able to generate more power and travel further distances on the same volume of fuel.

  2. Octane Rating: Petrol typically has a higher octane rating compared to diesel fuel. Octane rating indicates the fuel's resistance to knocking or pre-ignition in spark-ignition engines. Higher octane ratings are required for petrol engines with higher compression ratios or turbocharging, whereas diesel engines rely on compression ignition and do not use spark plugs.
