[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The writing appears to be on the wall for cars that run on lorry fuel.

I can understand why derv owners are annoyed because a decade ago 'lorry fuel cars' were going to save planet Earth. People were encouraged to 'buy diesel'

This will make the current models very cheap..and, if you don't drive in cities and only cause the premature death of cows and sheep by driving in rural areas, you're on to a winner.


What do Danish buses use?

The capital city of Norway. I've been there. Very nice.

Pretty liberal when it comes to the consumption of 'wacky baccy'.........so I hear.

[zirk]

Nope, would never buy a brand new car, even if it run on water.

[BazaJT]

Never owned an oil burner,never wanted to either.However if I had the money to buy a brand new car of any engine type I still wouldn't buy one,I'd buy a classic car instead.So to answer the question as posed no I wouldn't.

I thought it was a bit of a shithole, but then I've never been to a capital city that wasn't.

Now, rural Norway...  ...big busted blonde girlies I found very friendly, and the local moonshine was cheap enough to get them legless...

......and there was me thinking this was a thread about the demise of derv.

Sandal wearing carrot munches always have to moan about summat... If it's not Islington parking charges or the price of tofu, it might as well be diesel cars

Yep, the same ones that a decade ago thought global warming climate change was the only show in town, and that CO2 emissions needed to be reduced despite all else. That's why we're where we are today.

If I absolutely needed a cheap to fuel new car I'd probably be looking closely at what petrol hybrids are like. Thank God I dont.

[Webby the Bear]

I can't see why anyone would have a diesel. Surely the fuel economy is negated when you spend every week in the garage for new turbos, injectors, egr valves etc. And my god the smell of them makes me sick.

The fuel of Satan

Sooo let's add some stats in here about second hand cars, I'm considering a Passat Estate for the wife as a possible future option.

Number of Passat Estates on AutoTrader: 1,706

Those that are autos, as this is a requirement: 506

Petrol: 14
Diesel: 470

So.... 14! Out of a huge brand and popular car, I have 14 to choose from if I go petrol?

It's same story with Zafria, Volvo V70, everything.

So yeah, why would people buy diesel? Sod all else to choose from!

[Doctor Gollum]

Just over 642,000 Austin Allegro were made... Doesn't make it right...

[tunnie]

Did not say if it was right or wrong, but the options to buy second hand strongly favour diesels. If you look only for petrol, you massively limit your options
