What's the expense of traveling from Wakefield to Harborough by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £17.8. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £8.9 (£17.8/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £5.93 (£17.8/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £4.45 (£17.8/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 102.61 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 102.61 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 12.4 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 12.4 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £17.8.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Wakefield to Harborough amounts to £17.8.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 11.2 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 5.6 £ (11.2/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 3.73 £ (11.2/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 2.8 £ (11.2/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): In petrol engines, the ignition process begins with the introduction of an air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then generates a high-voltage electrical spark, which ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, initiating combustion. This method is known as spark ignition, as the spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the mixture.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Diesel engines operate on a different principle known as compression ignition. In these engines, air is compressed within the combustion chamber to a high temperature and pressure by the upward movement of the piston. This compression causes the diesel fuel, injected into the combustion chamber, to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. The high pressure and temperature created during compression cause the diesel fuel to combust, driving the power stroke of the engine.
