Fuel cost = (184.6 mi / 37.5 mpg) x 144 pence per liter = 32.2 £

In more detail, the result is obtained:

Fuel needed = Distance / Car fuel consumption = miles * 4.54609 / carConsumtion = 184.6 mi * 4.54609 / 37.5 mpg = 22.4 liters

Fuel needed = 22.4 lt

Fuel cost = Fuel needed x Price per liter = 22.4 liters x 144 pence per liter = 32.2 £

Fuel cost from Swansea to Charnwood = 32.2 £

The trip with diesel fuel costs 22.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.15 £ (22.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.43 £ (22.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.58 £ (22.3/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
