This is a question that I was going to embellish with nonsense from my Tornton trip. The hotel (doss house) was a haven for van drivers, but I will just ask the question: Now just a question for van lovers. Is the Hierarchy as I thought? 1. Diesel 2. Petrol 3. Electric And only diesel van drivers are allowed at the top table in a motorway services?
A decade ago the Tory government announced zero road tax for some and £25 road tax for a great many diesel cars. How times change!
I believe that not many years back diesel was considered to be cleaner than petrol, as it emitted less hydrocarbons. Then they discovered particulates. They also did away with lead in petrol as it was unhealthy, but replaced it with a known carcinogen.
I'm a diesel fan . 700 miles tank range in my work van . Our little diesel nissan note car does 70mpg on a run and cost £25 to tax . Its 12 years old now, I've had it for 5 years and intend to keep it at least another 5 . Great green motoring
