    Agree: Diesel is cheaper and you get better mileage out of it. What’s not to love? That’s one of the reasons I got one in 2010 (a VW brand, 1.6 litres). Then I realised the problems with the fine particles. Today we have a petrol car and will move to electricity next, hopefully within 12 months.
