diesel is for space-heaters and cross-channel ferries. Won't find any of it here.

<Lazytinker rubs hands with glee>

If I had to own a diesel, it would probably be a Beemer. So that, clearly, is not going to happen any time soon .... Although double the range does sound appealing I must say.

Wow. I've just come over all funny.    Didn't think I'd ever see that in writing.

Agreed.

I expect a comparison of the BMW development budget for diseasel engines against petrol would be quite telling.

Besides, it's a repmobile, and most company car policies I come into contact with stipulate "thou shalt drive a tractor*".

Their new range on turbocharged petrols are fantastic.

The evolution of cars like human race's goes to more and more difficult structure and my guess is all  the diesel and petrol fueled cars will be out of fashion soon. The car as itself is eternal idea there will be cars all the time but drived by alternative fuels. /maybe how the Flinstones did - who know?  /

There was a piece on the news yesterday about the fact that diesel is rising in price so sharply against the price of petrol that lots of diesel owners are considering going back to petrol. I believe that the gap between diesel and petrol prices is now the biggest it's ever been, and set to get bigger

And unfortunately LPG seems to be catching both of them.I paid 82p per litre yesterday at a garage I was paying 60p at 18 months ago.

Petrol all the time ! When I decided beside petrol it was important that I'll always have alternative choise eg ethanol or gas to be fitted up not to mention the price of theirs. Although cost of gas is increasing hopely never be so high than the one of petrol or diesel.

Comparatively (LPG/Petrol/Diesel) the price ratio hasn't changed dramatically, although the gap has closed, in the last 3-4 years. When I got my first LPG powered car I was paying 37p per Litre at the expensive garages It mad a big jump from that initially but has since remained reasonably stable
