How much does it cost to drive from Wigan to Tameside with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Wigan to Tameside. The journey using petrol will set you back 4.9 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 2.45 pounds (£4.9 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 1.63 pounds (£4.9 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 1.23 pounds (£4.9 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 Wigan and Tameside is approximately 28.58 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 3.5 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 (3.5 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 4.9 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Wigan to Tameside is 4.9 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Wigan to Tameside.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 3.1 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 1.55 £ (3.1/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 1.03 £ (3.1/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.78 £ (3.1/4) /p.

Diesel engines vs petrol engines:

  • Spark Ignition (Petrol Engines): In petrol engines, the ignition process begins with the introduction of an air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then generates a high-voltage electrical spark, which ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, initiating combustion. This method is known as spark ignition, as the spark plug plays a crucial role in igniting the mixture.

  • Compression Ignition (Diesel Engines): Diesel engines operate on a different principle known as compression ignition. In these engines, air is compressed within the combustion chamber to a high temperature and pressure by the upward movement of the piston. This compression causes the diesel fuel, injected into the combustion chamber, to ignite spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. The high pressure and temperature created during compression cause the diesel fuel to combust, driving the power stroke of the engine.
