How much does it cost to drive from Stirling to Edinburgh?

If you're using petrol, it's gonna set you back 6.3 quid. In this calculation, they're saying the petrol price is 144 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 3.15 quid each (£6.3 divided by 2). With three buddies on board, it works out to around 2.1 quid per person (£6.3 divided by 3). And if you've got a full car with four people, it's only 1.58 quid per person (£6.3 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 4.4 liters of fuel. They figured that out by dividing the distance of 35.93 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 4.4 liters, and you multiply it by the price per liter, which is 144 pence. And voilà, you got yourself the total fuel cost for the trip from Stirling to Edinburgh: 6.3 quid.

 

Diesel cost from Stirling to Edinburgh.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 4.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 2.15 £ (4.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.43 £ (4.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.08 £ (4.3/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Compression Ignition vs. Spark Ignition: Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature, while petrol engines rely on spark ignition from spark plugs. This fundamental difference in combustion processes leads to different engine designs and performance characteristics.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines tend to be more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, primarily due to their higher compression ratios and thermal efficiency. Diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, resulting in better fuel economy and lower fuel consumption.
