It's only the UK where historically diesel is more expensive. On the continent, I'm pretty sure it's the opposite.

Diesel should be cheaper, after all it undergo one less refining process.

76 p per litre in Luxembourg last month and 85p in france
Petrol was 10p ( eqivelent) more expensive.

It used to be cheaper, but then a lot of drivers switched to diesel, so the government upped the tax on it, to make it more expensive.

less cynically, they increased it because they realised its not quite so pleasant on the pollutant front, producing lots of heavier compounds than petrol. of course they knew this when promoting its use and holding the tax back.

It seems to me that the issue is that now we are looking at the particles which are emitted from working diesel engines.

This to the extent that, it appears, diesel engines are soon to be barred from London ( and indeed other cities ) .

Jeez Iv'e busted that quoting thing again

And there was me getting grumpy because I wasn't offered a diesel option for my company car!

Though the mpg still makes it more expensive unless petrol gets considerably cheaper still.

10p cheaper per litre in Dublin, has been cheaper (albeit less significantly so) for years.

I wouldn't own a diesel on principle that it's far more health damaging than petrol.

No it doesn't.

I may have got a bit confused, as I was initially commenting on the fact that I wouldn't have been able to drive in major cities if I'd chosen a diesel car, and then I lost the plot completely!

I'm back on the medication now and can confirm that I was talking nonsense! Please continue.

One reason many people drive a diesel is the longevity of the engines ,100,000 miles on a petrol is a lot of miles but a diesel its nowhere near .

I'm a diesel car buyer only!
Pros: diesel to petrol
Diesel are just as fast as petrol,
Saves money on road tax,
Better mpg,
Clocks up more mileage

Cons of diesel to petrol
Most petrol engines sound better
Don't get filter problems
Probably are better for environment
Cheaper cars to buy new

Overall, I think diesel are much better then petrol!
