If you're carpooling with a buddy, that's £5.15 each (£10.3 divided by 2). With a trio onboard, it drops to around £3.43 a head (£10.3 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's a mere £2.58 per person (£10.3 divided by 4).

Diesel cost from Solihull to Shropshire.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 7.2 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.6 £ (7.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.4 £ (7.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.8 £ (7.2/4) /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.
