How much does it cost to drive from West Oxfordshire to Southend-on-Sea with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from West Oxfordshire to Southend-on-Sea. The journey using petrol will set you back 20.1 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 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 10.05 pounds (£20.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 6.7 pounds (£20.1 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.03 pounds (£20.1 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 West Oxfordshire and Southend-on-Sea is approximately 115.79 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 14 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 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 (14 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 20.1 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from West Oxfordshire to Southend-on-Sea is 20.1 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from West Oxfordshire to Southend-on-Sea.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 12.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 6.35 £ (12.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 4.23 £ (12.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 3.18 £ (12.7/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): Ignition is initiated by a spark plug igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Ignition occurs when the air-fuel mixture is compressed by the piston, leading to spontaneous combustion of diesel fuel without the need for a spark plug.
