What's the expense of traveling from Salford to Thanet by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £49.8. 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 £24.9 (£49.8/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £16.6 (£49.8/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £12.45 (£49.8/4).

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 285.09 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 285.09 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 34.6 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 34.6 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £49.8.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Salford to Thanet amounts to £49.8.

Diesel cost from Salford to Thanet.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 34.5 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 17.25 £ (34.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 11.5 £ (34.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 8.63 £ (34.5/4) /p.

Diesel cars generally have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol cars for the following reasons:

  1. Higher Energy Density of Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter compared to petrol. This means that for the same volume of fuel, diesel engines can generate more power and travel a greater distance, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

  2. Increased Thermal Efficiency of Diesel Engines: Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios compared to petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel engines are typically more thermally efficient, translating into lower fuel consumption.

  3. Greater Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic allows diesel vehicles to maintain better fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising, as they require less throttle input to maintain speed.

These factors combined contribute to the generally lower fuel consumption observed in diesel cars compared to their petrol counterparts.
