What's the cost of a drive from Swansea to Rutherglen?

The journey, powered by petrol, sets you back £72. In this calculation, we're crunching numbers based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's thirst of 37.5 miles per gallon. If you're carpooling with a buddy, that's £36 each (£72 divided by 2). With a trio onboard, it drops to around £24 a head (£72 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's a mere £18 per person (£72 divided by 4).

Let's dig into the math behind it. The fuel expenditure hinges on the distance covered and the car's efficiency. For this particular jaunt, you're looking at guzzling down roughly 50.3 liters of fuel. Crunching the numbers, that's where the £72 total comes from for the trip from Swansea to Rutherglen.
 

Diesel cost from Swansea to Rutherglen.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 45.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 22.75 £ (45.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 15.17 £ (45.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 11.38 £ (45.5/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
