How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £3.5. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £1.75 (£3.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £1.17 per passenger (£3.5 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £0.88 per passenger (£3.5 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 2.5 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £3.5 comes from for the journey from Slough to Reading.
 

Diesel cost from Slough to Reading.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 2.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 1.1 £ (2.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 0.73 £ (2.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.55 £ (2.2/4) /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.
