How much does it cost to drive from Tunbridge Wells to Plymouth with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Tunbridge Wells to Plymouth. The journey using petrol will set you back 42.3 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 21.15 pounds (£42.3 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 14.1 pounds (£42.3 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 10.58 pounds (£42.3 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 Tunbridge Wells and Plymouth is approximately 242.12 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 29.4 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 (29.4 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence) yields 42.3 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Tunbridge Wells to Plymouth is 42.3 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Tunbridge Wells to Plymouth.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 29.3 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 14.65 £ (29.3/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 9.77 £ (29.3/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 7.33 £ (29.3/4) /p.

For these reasons, diesel cars use less fuel than petrol cars:

Diesel fuel has more energy per litre than petrol. Diesel engines can drive farther and provide more power for the same fuel volume, reducing fuel consumption.

Diesel engines have higher compression ratios than petrol engines, increasing thermal efficiency. Diesel engines get more energy from each fuel unit due to this increased compression ratio. Because diesel engines are thermally efficient, they use less fuel.

Diesel engines create more torque at lower RPM than petrol engines. Diesel vehicles require less throttle input to maintain speed, which improves fuel efficiency, especially during steady-state driving.

Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol cars due to these considerations.
