How much does a trip from London to Brighton set you back in petrol costs?

The answer: £28.8. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency rated at 37.5 miles per gallon. Carpooling with two passengers reduces the cost per person to £14.4 (£28.8 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £9.6 per passenger (£28.8 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £7.2 per passenger (£28.8 divided by 4).

Now, let's dissect the numbers behind this. The fuel cost is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, you'll need approximately 20 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £28.8 comes from for the journey from Swansea to Wirral.
 

Diesel cost from Swansea to Wirral.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10 £ (20/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.67 £ (20/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5 £ (20/4) /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.
