How much does it cost to drive from Solihull to Dartford with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Solihull to Dartford. The journey using petrol will set you back 24.4 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 12.2 pounds (£24.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 8.13 pounds (£24.4 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 6.1 pounds (£24.4 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Solihull and Dartford is approximately 139.69 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 16.9 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (16.9 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 24.4 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Solihull to Dartford is 24.4 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Solihull to Dartford.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 16.9 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).

For 3 passengers: 5.63 £ (16.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.23 £ (16.9/4) /p.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel is known for its higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel contains more energy per volume than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can achieve better fuel efficiency and typically provide greater mileage per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol engines.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. This means that petrol contains less energy per volume than diesel. While petrol engines are still efficient, they tend to have slightly lower fuel efficiency and may offer shorter driving ranges compared to diesel engines due to this difference in energy density.
