How much does it cost to drive from Taunton Deane to East Kilbride with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Taunton Deane to East Kilbride. The journey using petrol will set you back 72 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 36 pounds (£72 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 24 pounds (£72 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 18 pounds (£72 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Taunton Deane and East Kilbride is approximately 415.25 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 50.3 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (50.3 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 72 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Taunton Deane to East Kilbride is 72 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Taunton Deane to East Kilbride.

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.

Fuel efficiency of diesel and petrol: 

Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines use less fuel than petrol ones. Diesel fuel's higher energy density and diesel engines' superior thermal efficiency are the main reasons. Diesel fuel has more energy per litre or gallon than petrol, hence diesel engines can extract more energy. Diesel engines also have larger compression ratios, improving thermal efficiency. Diesel vehicles get better fuel efficiency and travel farther per gallon or litre than petrol vehicles of equal size and performance. 
Fuel efficiency is lower for petrol engines than diesel engines. Petrol is still an effective internal combustion engine fuel, but it has less energy density than diesel. This means petrol engines may need more fuel than diesel engines to function similarly. In recent years, turbocharging and direct injection have increased petrol engine fuel efficiency, closing the gap between petrol and diesel vehicles. 
Due to their higher energy density and thermal efficiency, diesel engines are more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. Diesel and petrol vehicle fuel efficiency can also be affected by driving habits, vehicle design, and other variables.
