So diesel is more than unleaded now in the UK - it didn't used to be. Why?

The price for diesel goes up and down with the demand in the US. The type of oil needed to refine it is also the type used in US oil heating systems so more demand raises prices on the market. Also the switch to low sulphur diesel to meet EU emissions targets makes it more expensive to produce. It also used to be cheaper because the tax levy was less Gordon brown took away the differential. Unless you do 30,000 miles a year at least there is no point having a diesel car nowadays, not least because they cost more to buy in the first place.

Derv is a British acronym for diesel-engined road-vehicle. You used to see it on the pumps.

It's cheaper in most eu countries because of taxation policy designed to make encourage diesel use and to petrol more expensive. It's no accident french diesels are the most common.

Trust me. You might spend £1,000-£3,000 on a diesel than the equivalent petrol new or even nearly new. three yerars and 100,000 plus you don't get £1-3000 more as a trade in £500 more if you're lucky. Buying a high mileage one is a mistake unless you really know how it was driven. clutch gearbox, suspension radiator you can get some lovely big bills-especially with renaults don't buy one.
