How much does it cost to drive from Tewkesbury to Preston with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Tewkesbury to Preston. The journey using petrol will set you back 25.1 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 144 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 12.55 pounds (£25.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 8.37 pounds (£25.1 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 6.28 pounds (£25.1 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 Tewkesbury and Preston is approximately 143.63 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 17.4 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 (17.4 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 25.1 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Tewkesbury to Preston is 25.1 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Tewkesbury to Preston.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 17.4 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 8.7 £ (17.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 5.8 £ (17.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 4.35 £ (17.4/4) /p.


Generally, diesel engines typically consume less fuel than petrol engines when all other factors are held constant. This is mainly because diesel fuel has a higher energy density and diesel engines are more thermally efficient. Diesel contains more energy per liter than petrol, and diesel engines are usually better at converting this energy into mechanical power. Moreover, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, enhancing their thermal efficiency and enabling them to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. Consequently, diesel vehicles often deliver superior fuel economy and can cover longer distances per gallon or liter of fuel compared to petrol vehicles of similar specifications.
