What's the expense of traveling from Southwark to West Dorset by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £23.9. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £11.95 (£23.9/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £7.97 (£23.9/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £5.98 (£23.9/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 137.05 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 137.05 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 16.6 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 16.6 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £23.9.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Southwark to West Dorset amounts to £23.9.

Diesel cost from Southwark to West Dorset.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 16.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.3 £ (16.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.53 £ (16.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.15 £ (16.6/4) /p.

In general, diesel engines tend to have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol engines, all else being equal. This is primarily due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel and the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are typically more efficient at converting that energy into mechanical work.

Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which improves their thermal efficiency and allows them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel vehicles often achieve better fuel economy and can travel farther on a gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar size and performance.

Ultimately, the choice between diesel and petrol vehicles depends on various factors, including fuel economy preferences, driving patterns, environmental considerations, and local fuel prices and availability.
