Give me diesel any day. It was no error that Buses and Trucks were diesel powered.The engines last for ever.
When VEL's were displayed you could see what rate of tax a vehicle was charged.
My mem sahibs Skoda Greenline( diesel) is zero rated for excise and Congestion charge. My hefty 2.5 diesel UTE pays less VEL than it's petrol counterparts.
Diesel engines are far more refined what with particulate filters,special lubricants and far more refined fuel than it used to be. No worries with a diesel in my opinion.Far better economy for the motorist in the long run and no more unhealthy, for anyone else , than petrol.

The rise of diesels was because the government put too much emphasis on CO2 emissions alone. Pollution is about much more than CO2.
Diesels pump out far too much micro particulate, and nitrous oxide among other things. Horrible smelly things.
I drive diesels for a living, but would never have an oil burning car.
(Mind you I said I would never have a mobile phone or do internet banking once)

New, clean, well maintained, diesels are (just about) OK - unfortunately people don't look after them properly and they quickly become inefficient and fill the air with particulates.
They should be banned for cars and subject to extremely rigorous enforcement of emission inspection for heavy vehicles.
Buying a diesel car now would be an act of folly, given that (at long last) they are being properly regulated.

The same can be said for a petrol engine.If you don't maintain it it will chuck out pollutants. old engine worn piston rings,burning oil etc.
There is less wear on diesel engines.Higher compression(ignition) and lower revving.
Later diesels are fitted with extra DPF's and cats and are highly regulated when checked at a MOT test.As previously stated the derv is far more refined than it once was.
