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

The answer: £29.7. In this calculation, we're considering a petrol price of 143 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 £14.85 (£29.7 divided by 2). With three passengers, the expense drops to approximately £9.9 per passenger (£29.7 divided by 3), and with a full car of four, it's just £7.43 per passenger (£29.7 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 20.8 liters of fuel. Crunching the figures, that's where the total of £29.7 comes from for the journey from Wakefield to Welwyn Hatfield.

Diesel fuel vs petrol fuel in terms of energy density:

  • Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel typically has a higher energy density compared to petrol. This means that diesel fuel contains more energy per liter or per gallon than petrol. As a result, diesel engines can extract more energy from each unit of fuel compared to petrol engines, leading to better fuel efficiency and longer driving ranges for diesel vehicles.

  • Petrol (Gasoline): Petrol has a lower energy density compared to diesel fuel. While petrol is still an efficient fuel for internal combustion engines, it generally contains less energy per liter or per gallon compared to diesel fuel. This difference in energy density contributes to the differences in fuel efficiency and driving range between petrol and diesel vehicles.
