What is the financial outlay associated with traveling from Tamworth to Lancaster by car?

The journey, powered by petrol, incurs a cost of £22.5. In this computational scenario, the price of petrol is assumed to be 144 pence per liter, and the car's fuel efficiency stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

For individuals contemplating carpooling arrangements, the expenditure per traveler diminishes as the number of passengers increases. With two passengers, the cost per person amounts to £11.25 (£22.5/2). For a trio of passengers, the cost per person reduces to £7.5 (£22.5/3), and for a quartet of passengers, it further decreases to £5.63 (£22.5/4).

To provide further elucidation on the calculation process, let us dissect how the final figure is derived:

Initially, the requisite fuel quantity is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey spanning 128.89 miles, this computation entails multiplying 128.89 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and subsequently dividing by the car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 mpg, resulting in a requirement of 15.6 liters of fuel.

Subsequently, the fuel expenditure is computed by multiplying the amount of fuel required by the price per liter. Given a consumption of 15.6 liters of fuel at a rate of 144 pence per liter, the cumulative cost equals £22.5.

In summation, the total fuel expenditure for the trip from Tamworth to Lancaster stands at £22.5.

Diesel cost from Tamworth to Lancaster.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 15.6 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 7.8 £ (15.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.2 £ (15.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.9 £ (15.6/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (gasoline) fuel in terms of how well they use fuel: 

Diesel Fuel: In general, diesel engines use less gas than petrol engines. This is mostly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are better at using heat. Compared to gasoline, diesel fuel has more energy per litre or gallon. This means that diesel engines can get more energy from each unit of fuel. Diesel engines also have higher compression ratios, which makes them even more thermally efficient. Because of this, diesel cars usually get better gas mileage and can go farther on a gallon or litre of gas than gasoline cars of the same size and speed. 
Petrol (petrol): Diesel engines use less fuel than petrol engines in general. Even though gas is still a good fuel for internal combustion engines, diesel fuel usually has a higher energy density. This suggests that gas engines might need more fuel to work as well as diesel engines. The difference between petrol and diesel cars has become smaller, though, thanks to improvements in petrol engine technology like turbocharging and direct injection. 
Overall, both diesel and gasoline engines can be used to get good gas mileage, but diesel engines tend to be better because they store energy more efficiently and cool down faster. But how people drive, how the car is built, and other things can also affect how much fuel a diesel or gas car uses.
