Went out today and needed a tank of diesel. Unlike the rocket and feather effect in the Uk, fuel had plummeted. Premium brand was 1.17 or 1.23 for super diesel(whatever that is!). I was sort of tempted to have a tankful of super just to see if it was better seeing as the last time I bought a tankful it was over 1.30. However I know the cutprice no frills garage further on is always a cent cheaper at 1.16 so filled up there.

Paying, the owner said. " I see you are Johnny Foreigner, are you a regular or one off customer? Oh no says I , regular. Right then I can give you a further 5% discount. (making it about 1.11) .  If I hadn't been full of post work coffee and brandy I would have fallen over.

I wonder if the local BP would give me discount for being a (ex) regular?

Oh, hang on a minute, they don't want to sell fuel. Mongrels.

You won't regret it if you do 
Probably cheaper to run then a diesel disco too

Aaeye. Lpg is the way.

Re v diesel. We've covered that well on here. As it's comparable initially. But diesels have BIGg compromises on its own. Not least the huge repair bills as the miles rack up later on. Dpf's. Etc etc

That was said in the 80's but seemed to fizzle out, not sure why.........

I'm glad it did, as every bigger would be using and the price would be the same as petrol by now.

Although to answer your point....I think the BS surrounding diesels is mostly to blame. By that I mean, similar running costs to a diesel initially, but obvioisly the manufacturers would never divulge the huge bills that are more than likely from 60-70k onwards, due to the massive pressure required in the fuel system.

[chrisgixer]

Should add, for transparency, above is based on experience of a Bmw e39. Although that did 120k on its injectors, and was on its second lift pump.
