What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Rochdale to Kirkcaldy and Dysart by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £43.1. 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 £21.55 (£43.1/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £14.37 (£43.1/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £10.78 (£43.1/4).

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 248.64 miles, this computation entails multiplying 248.64 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 30.1 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 30.1 liters of fuel at a rate of 143 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £43.1.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Rochdale to Kirkcaldy and Dysart stands at £43.1.


Diesel cost from Rochdale to Kirkcaldy and Dysart.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 27.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 13.6 £ (27.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.07 £ (27.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.8 £ (27.2/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
