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

Embarking on the journey from Wigan to Motherwell, one might ponder the cost of such a venture. Indeed, the expenditure amounts to 33 pounds when fueled by petrol. In this calculation, we delve into the intricate details, where the price of petrol stands at 143 pence per liter, and the car's thirst for fuel measures 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those opting for carpooling, the financial burden lightens, with a cost of 16.5 pounds for each of two passengers, 11 pounds for three passengers, and merely 8.25 pounds for four passengers.

Delving deeper into the mechanics of the calculation, we ascertain the amount of fuel required for the voyage. Covering a distance of approximately 190.47 miles, the car craves around 23.1 liters of petrol. This value is derived from the division of the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate, converted into liters for precision.

With the quantity of fuel determined, we proceed to compute the total expenditure. By multiplying the fuel volume (23.1 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence), we seamlessly arrive at the grand total of 33 pounds. Thus, the journey from Wigan to Motherwell is marked by a fuel cost of 33 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Wigan to Motherwell.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 20.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 10.45 £ (20.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 6.97 £ (20.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 5.23 £ (20.9/4) /p.

Diesel cars generally have lower fuel consumption compared to petrol cars for the following reasons:

  1. Higher Energy Density of Diesel Fuel: Diesel fuel contains more energy per liter compared to petrol. This means that for the same volume of fuel, diesel engines can generate more power and travel a greater distance, resulting in lower fuel consumption.

  2. Increased Thermal Efficiency of Diesel Engines: Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios compared to petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel. As a result, diesel engines are typically more thermally efficient, translating into lower fuel consumption.

  3. Greater Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic allows diesel vehicles to maintain better fuel efficiency, particularly during steady-state cruising, as they require less throttle input to maintain speed.

These factors combined contribute to the generally lower fuel consumption observed in diesel cars compared to their petrol counterparts.
