• Ford Fiesta diesel or petrol - Second hand car for daughter learning to drive. 22 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    She is mad keen to pass her test.  She is happy to meet certain costs to get a slightly better car.  Her driving will mainly be in and around town...longest journey 15 miles...and little motorway driving. Looking at running costs it does seem to me that a diesel will be cheaper tjhan a petrol.......lower road tax, lower insurance, better mileage per gallon but obviously more expensive per gallon etc.

• All diesels - Which driving style produces the least diesel soot 24 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  I have heard four theories: 1.Soot is mainly generated when a car is being driven hard which is why drivers accelerating hard from roundabouts get the characteristic black smoke but not at steady speed. 2. A hard driven diesel burns the soot that both hard & soft driving generate but which only hard driving will burn up leaving it to cause damage in a gently driven car. 3. It is about turbo boost. An small engine with lots of boost produces more soot than a bigger less boosted engine producing the same power.

• Points on your license 29 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I'm with the charity man quoted in the article; let's stick to 12 for everybody.  If you have to go to court and claim 'hardship' for being unable to drive then you should have thought about it before driving like a knob.  I'm thinking about in towns really here; speeding on the motorway doesn't bother me as long as they don't drive up the backs of other cars.
