How much does it cost to drive from Southampton to Musselburgh?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 73.9 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 143 pence per liter, and the car's gonna guzzle down 37.5 miles for every gallon of that stuff.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets split up between everyone riding. So, if there are two people in the car, it's gonna be 36.95 quid each (£73.9 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 24.63 quid per person (£73.9 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 18.48 quid per person (£73.9 divided by 4).

Breaking down the numbers, the fuel cost is calculated based on how far you're going and how much gas your car chugs. For this trip, you're gonna need about 51.7 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 426.31 miles by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon, and then converting that to liters 'cause, you know, the UK uses liters.

So, you take the fuel needed, which is 51.7 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 143 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Southampton to Musselburgh: 73.9 quid.

Diesel fuel and petrol (gasoline) fuel in terms of emissions:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion generally results in higher emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to petrol combustion. This is primarily due to the combustion characteristics of diesel engines and the composition of diesel fuel. However, modern diesel vehicles incorporate advanced emission control technologies such as particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to mitigate these emissions effectively.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol combustion typically leads to lower emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to diesel combustion. This is because petrol itself contains fewer impurities, resulting in fewer emitted particulates. Additionally, petrol engines may emit lower levels of nitrogen oxides due to differences in combustion processes and engine design.

In summary, while both diesel and petrol engines emit pollutants, diesel engines historically produced higher emissions. Nevertheless, advancements in emission control technologies have enabled both diesel and petrol vehicles to meet strict emissions standards.
