What's the expense of traveling from Wigan to Barnsley by car?

If you're using petrol, you're looking at an expense of 10.6 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 5.3 quid each (£10.6 divided by 2). If you've got three folks in the car, the cost per person comes down to about 3.53 quid (£10.6 divided by 3). And if it's a full house with four passengers, each person chips in 2.65 quid (£10.6 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 Wigan and Barnsley is about 61.06 miles. So, to cover that distance, your car's gonna need approximately 7.4 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 (7.4 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), and you get 10.6 quid. So, there you have it, the fuel cost for your journey from Wigan to Barnsley: 10.6 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Wigan to Barnsley.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 6.7 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 3.35 £ (6.7/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 2.23 £ (6.7/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 1.68 £ (6.7/4) /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.
