What's the expense of traveling from Wishaw to Rutherglen by car?

Embarking on the journey from Wishaw to Rutherglen, one might ponder the cost of such a venture. Indeed, the expenditure amounts to 2.6 pounds when fueled by petrol. In this calculation, we delve into the intricate details, where the price of petrol stands at 144 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 1.3 pounds for each of two passengers, 0.87 pounds for three passengers, and merely 0.65 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 15.05 miles, the car craves around 1.8 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 (1.8 liters) by the price per liter (144 pence), we seamlessly arrive at the grand total of 2.6 pounds. Thus, the journey from Wishaw to Rutherglen is marked by a fuel cost of 2.6 pounds.
 

Diesel cost from Wishaw to Rutherglen.

The trip with diesel fuel costs 1.8 £ (167p/lt, 62.7 mpg).
For 2 passengers: 0.9 £ (1.8/2) /p.
For 3 passengers: 0.6 £ (1.8/3) /p.
For 4 passengers: 0.45 £ (1.8/4) /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.
