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

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £38.9. 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 £19.45 (£38.9/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £12.97 (£38.9/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £9.73 (£38.9/4).

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 224.55 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 224.55 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 27.2 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 27.2 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £38.9.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Wakefield to Pontypridd amounts to £38.9.

Diesel cost from Wakefield to Pontypridd.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 24.6 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 12.3 £ (24.6/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 8.2 £ (24.6/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.15 £ (24.6/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (petrol) fuel have differences:

  1. Compression Ignition vs. Spark Ignition: Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously due to high pressure and temperature, while petrol engines rely on spark ignition from spark plugs. This fundamental difference in combustion processes leads to different engine designs and performance characteristics.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Diesel engines tend to be more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, primarily due to their higher compression ratios and thermal efficiency. Diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, resulting in better fuel economy and lower fuel consumption.
