What's the expense of traveling from Wakefield to Richmond upon Thames by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 32.5 quid. Now, how do we get to that number? Let's break it down.

First off, we need to consider the price of petrol. In this calculation, it's set at 143 pence per liter. Then, we need to know how thirsty your car is. The fuel consumption rate for this ride is 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, if you're carpooling, the cost gets divvied up. For two people sharing the ride, it's gonna be 16.25 quid each (£32.5 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 10.83 quid (£32.5 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 8.13 quid (£32.5 divided by 4).

Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the calculations. To figure out how much fuel you need for the trip, it's all about distance and fuel efficiency. The distance between Wakefield and Richmond upon Thames is about 187.35 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 22.7 liters of petrol. We got that number by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters 'cause that's what we use here.

Once we know how much fuel we need, we can calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of fuel (22.7 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 32.5 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Wakefield to Richmond upon Thames: 32.5 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Wakefield to Richmond upon Thames.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20.5 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.25 £ (20.5/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.83 £ (20.5/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.13 £ (20.5/4) /p.

Diesel fuel and petrol fuel in terms of greater torque at lower RPM:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel engines typically produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic is due to the inherent design differences between diesel and petrol engines, particularly in their combustion processes and fuel properties. Diesel engines operate on compression ignition, where the air-fuel mixture ignites spontaneously under high pressure and temperature, allowing them to generate high torque even at low RPMs. This characteristic makes diesel vehicles well-suited for tasks requiring high pulling power, such as towing or hauling heavy loads, as they can deliver ample torque at low engine speeds.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol engines generally produce less torque at lower RPMs compared to diesel engines. While petrol engines can also deliver torque, they often require higher engine speeds to reach their maximum torque output. Petrol engines rely on spark ignition, where the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug, and this combustion process may not generate as much torque at lower engine speeds as compression ignition in diesel engines. However, advancements in petrol engine technology, such as turbocharging and variable valve timing, have improved torque delivery across a broader RPM range in modern petrol vehicles.
