How much does it cost to travel from St Albans to Swindon by car?

The journey, fueled by petrol, comes to £15.3. In this calculation, we've assumed a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's petrol consumption at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those considering carpooling, with two passengers, the cost per person is £7.65 (£15.3/2). With three passengers, the cost reduces to £5.1 per person (£15.3/3). And for four passengers, it further decreases to £3.83 per person (£15.3/4).

To break it down further, here's how we arrive at the result:

The fuel required is determined by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption. For a journey of 87.7 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 87.7 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 10.6 liters of fuel needed.

The fuel cost is then calculated by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. For 10.6 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total comes to £15.3.

In conclusion, the fuel cost from St Albans to Swindon amounts to £15.3.

Diesel cost from St Albans to Swindon.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 10.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 5.3 £ (10.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.53 £ (10.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.65 £ (10.6/4) /p.

Diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, all else being equal. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol, and diesel engines utilise that energy more efficiently.

Higher compression ratios improve thermal efficiency and allow diesel engines to extract more energy from each fuel unit. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance.

The choice between diesel and petrol automobiles depends on fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, and local fuel prices and availability.
