How much is the expense of driving from Shropshire to Bournemouth?

The expense of driving from Shropshire to Bournemouth, using petrol as the fuel source, amounts to £33.6. This calculation derives from considering the petrol price as 143 pence per liter and the car's fuel efficiency at miles per gallon. When carpooling with two passengers, the cost of the trip per passenger is halved to £16.8 (£33.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £11.2 per passenger (£33.6 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's reduced further to £8.4 per passenger (£33.6 divided by 4).

To delve into the details of the calculations, the fuel cost computation is reliant on the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For the journey from Shropshire to Bournemouth, approximately 23.5 liters of fuel would be required. This amount is determined by dividing the distance of 194.12 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of miles per gallon, and then converting from gallons to liters using the conversion factor of 4.54609 liters per gallon.

Multiplying the fuel needed by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £33.6 for the trip. This breakdown illustrates the impact of various factors, such as fuel price and consumption rate, on the overall cost of the journey, providing insights for individuals planning similar trips and requiring budget estimates.
 

Diesel cost from Shropshire to Bournemouth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 21.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.6 £ (21.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.07 £ (21.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.3 £ (21.2/4) /p.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
