Once we have all converted to petrol cars they'll introduce new taxes to penalise them.

Then it will have to be electric cars, and then......

Yes, you've got the picture!

Re: Diesel cars

Yes the diesel cars days are numbered, they were seen as the way forward less c02, better fuel economy, but the research showed that they emit more NOx , which is very bad, so they fitted diesel particulate filters to catch the diesel particulates, but these are problematic, so now diesels are seen as the cause of all pollution, not the saviour of all, however, the world health organization are due to publish a report on petrol cars saying that pollution from those are just as bad, if not worse

We used to have diesel cars in the past, but as they are not good for the environment wouldn't have one now. They should either be withdrawn or the tax should be sky high, imo.

Re: Diesel cars

I wonder what you're going to do about our HGVs, busses and many of our locomotives!

Nothing will be done because it's easier to penalise the diesel car driver
