How much does it cost to travel from Rochford to Forest Heath by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £14.4. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £7.2 (£14.4/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £4.8 per person (£14.4/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £3.6 per person (£14.4/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 83.01 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 83.01 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 10.1 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 10.1 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total comes to £14.4.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from Rochford to Forest Heath amounts to £14.4.


Diesel cost from Rochford to Forest Heath.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 9.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 4.55 £ (9.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.03 £ (9.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.28 £ (9.1/4) /p.

Diesel fuel has more torque at lower RPM than petrol fuel. 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines create higher torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Due to diesel and petrol engine design variances in combustion processes and fuel characteristics, this occurs. Diesel engines create significant torque at low RPMs due to compression ignition, when the air-fuel mixture spontaneously ignites under high pressure and temperature. Diesel cars can deliver enough of torque at low engine speeds, making them ideal for towing and transporting heavy objects. 
Compared to diesel engines, petrol engines provide less torque at lower RPMs. Petrol engines can produce torque, but they need greater engine speeds. A spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in petrol engines, which may not provide as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. Modern petrol automobiles have enhanced torque delivery across a wider RPM range because to turbocharging and variable valve timing. 
Overall, diesel engines have more torque at lower RPMs than petrol engines due to their combustion processes and engine designs. Diesel cars excel for high-pull and low-speed applications due to this trait.
