How much does it cost to drive from Wakefield to West Lancashire with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Wakefield to West Lancashire. The journey using petrol will set you back 13.5 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 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 6.75 pounds (£13.5 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 4.5 pounds (£13.5 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 3.38 pounds (£13.5 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 Wakefield and West Lancashire is approximately 77.74 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 9.4 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 (9.4 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 13.5 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Wakefield to West Lancashire is 13.5 pounds.

Diesel Fuel: Diesel combustion creates more NOx and particulate matter than petrol combustion. This is due to diesel engine combustion and fuel composition. Modern diesel automobiles emit less due to particle filters and SCR systems. 
Compared to diesel combustion, petrol combustion produces less nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Petrol contains less contaminants than diesel, thus petrol engines generate fewer particles. Due to combustion processes and engine design, petrol engines may release less nitrogen oxides. 
While both diesel and petrol engines generate pollutants, diesel engines historically emitted more. Since pollution control technology have improved, current diesel and petrol vehicles can meet strict emissions criteria.
