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

The answer: £32.4. 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 £16.2 (£32.4 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £10.8 per passenger (£32.4 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £8.1 per passenger (£32.4 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 22.5 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £32.4 comes from for the journey from Tunbridge Wells to Penarth.
 

Diesel cost from Tunbridge Wells to Penarth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 22.4 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 11.2 £ (22.4/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 7.47 £ (22.4/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.6 £ (22.4/4) /p.

When compared to petrol engines, diesel engines typically have a lower fuel usage. This is the case even when all other factors remain the same. This is mostly attributable to the higher energy density of diesel fuel as well as the higher thermal efficiency of diesel engines. Diesel engines are often more efficient in converting the energy contained in diesel fuel into mechanical effort than gasoline engines are. Diesel fuel contains more energy per litre than gasoline fuel.

In addition, diesel engines carry out their operations at higher compression ratios, which not only enhances their thermal efficiency but also enables them to extract a greater amount of energy from each individual unit of fuel. As a consequence of this, diesel vehicles typically achieve superior fuel economy and are able to go further on a gallon or litre of fuel when compared to gasoline vehicles of comparable size and performance.

In the end, the decision between diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles is determined by a number of criteria, such as preferences about fuel economy, driving patterns, environmental concerns, as well as the availability and pricing of fuel in the local area.
