How much is the expense of driving from Wirral to Braintree?

The expense of driving from Wirral to Braintree using petrol amounts to £41.1. This computation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and a car's fuel efficiency of 37.5 miles per gallon. For those considering carpooling arrangements, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, the cost per person is £20.55 (£41.1 divided by 2). With three passengers, it's approximately £13.7 per person (£41.1 divided by 3), and with four passengers, it's £10.28 per person (£41.1 divided by 4).

To delve deeper into the calculations, we can explore the fuel cost calculation. This is determined by the distance traveled and the car's fuel consumption rate. For this journey, approximately 28.7 liters of fuel would be required. Multiplying this by the petrol price per liter results in the total fuel cost of £41.1 for the trip from Wirral to Braintree.
 

Diesel cost from Wirral to Braintree.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 25.9 £ (151p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 12.95 £ (25.9/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 8.63 £ (25.9/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 6.48 £ (25.9/4) /p.

Significant factors contributing to diesel cars generally having lower fuel consumption than petrol cars are:

  1. Higher Thermal Efficiency: Diesel engines typically operate at higher compression ratios than petrol engines. This higher compression ratio allows diesel engines to extract more energy from each unit of fuel, resulting in greater thermal efficiency. As a result, diesel vehicles can achieve better fuel economy compared to petrol vehicles.

  2. More Torque at Lower RPM: Diesel engines tend to produce more torque at lower engine speeds (RPM) compared to petrol engines. This characteristic enables diesel vehicles to perform more efficiently during steady-state driving conditions, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. Consequently, diesel cars often exhibit lower fuel consumption, especially in highway driving scenarios.
