How much does it cost to drive from Sunderland to Glasgow with petrol?

Driving from Sunderland to Glasgow costs £28.9 with petrol. The calculation assumes a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's petrol consumption of 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers brings the cost down to £14.45 per person. With three passengers, it's £9.63 per person, and with four passengers, it's £7.23 per person. The fuel cost for the trip is derived from the distance and car fuel consumption, totaling 20.1 liters of fuel. This results in a £28.9 fuel cost for the journey.
 

Diesel cost from Sunderland to Glasgow.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20.1 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.05 £ (20.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.7 £ (20.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.03 £ (20.1/4) /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.
