Petrol Octavia for 15k km a year?
Which is better 1.2 petrol or 1.6 Diesel looking for 2012 Octavia 3 teenager's 2 adults mileage 15000 kms a year
Our answer:
Hi Mark,
Definitely the petrol. With that kind of mileage, you’re not going to get the best out of a diesel, and that 1.2 TSI engine is nearly as economical as a diesel anyway. Plus it’s more refined.
