Petrol and diesel vehicles both come with their own set of advantages. The choice will depend on the way you drive, the vehicle you have and how you are going to be using it. Here are some of the points to consider for each:
Petrol
Petrol tends to be a little bit cheaper than diesel, though the difference is now minimal. Most vehicles now tend to be petrol so it might give you more choice when you are buying a car, van or motorbike. New research is also showing that diesel can be incredibly damaging to the environment and petrol may be favourable.
Diesel
Diesel vehicles used to have a bad reputation but now, diesel cars feel very similar to petrol. The driving experience you will get is really not that different. You just need to bear in mind that diesel may be more efficient if you drive long distances.
