Caporegime
Genuinely thought Kevin Nash had popped his clogs.
The government suddenly decided after 17 years that Diesels are actually bad for the environment, having spent the best part of 2 decades trying to get people to switch to them.
The other thing is people now know that diesel isn't suitable if your usage pattern is just short local trips.
But not in all cases.
I have a 2006 E4 2.2 TDCi. Even with short stop/start journeys I can still return an average of 34mpg. The equivalent (power/engine size) petrol is around 26.
Bought it or leased it?My mate's just bought a brand new merc diesel, £40k+. It looks ok but still can't outrun my 13-year-old golf Not the way i'd have spent my money but everyone's different.
Amazing amount of people are still buying diesel for their 6000 miles a year involving mostly inner city, shopping and schoolruns!
That doesn’t actually sound too bad as it is - much better than I achieve in my CRV. That’s got to be breaking 30 mpg isn’t it?
I suppose not thinking about it. I averaged 35mpg for most of the trip, mk2 tts with open valve
I’m lucky to average 26mpg in my 2.0 auto CRV. Worth it thoug
Yes, why drive when you can teleport.
Diesel has got to die sooner rather than later - No one in their right mind should even be considering a Diesel car if buying new today.
Cities are beginning to tax you harder for driving Diesel cars - And that will only be pushed more and more.
