  As a converted diesel user could someone explain why on new family sized cars the turbo-diesel car costs approx. £1000 more than the petrol equivalent. Also why are we the only Country in Europe where diesel fuel costs more than petrol.

• which drivers' car for commute? 25 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  I've shortlisted the following: Focus / Mazda 3 1.6 diesel - have driven and liked both but my budget would involve highish mileages and concerns about diesel reliability As above but 2.0 petrol - not sure if I'd get near 40mpg on my town & country commute Previous gen Civic 2.0 Type S - fuel economy again? Current gen civic 1.8 petrol - not sure if in budget without mega miles? Accord 2.0 petrol, Mazda 6 1.8 or 2.0 petrol, Mondeo 1.8 or 2.0 petrol - fuel economy? Any opinions or thoughts on my conundrum?

• Missed service. 4 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  It had escaped my notice that it had done 17k in that time. Anyway it's had an oil and filter plus air and fuel ones too so it's a lesson to me to check interval and mileage.
