Should I stick with petrol for now?

Should I stick with petrol for now?

.l drive a 06 Citroen Berlingo and am about to trade up.Seemingly, Citroen have stopped producing the petrol version since 2008.Considering the car is for typical social and domestic use for our family (12-15,000 miles per year) is staying with petrol or switching to diesel the way to go?The second hand market seems to be swamped with diesel models.

Our answer:

Hi Padraig,

Yes, it’s an issue at the moment and there will be considerable lag in the second hand market as customers start to switch away from diesel. I think with your mileage, you really ought to think about switching to petrol, if you can track down the right car.
