Will I go for petrol or diesel?
Hello Would I be better off getting a petrol or diesel car keeping in mind road tax and problems that petrol or diesel might cause?
Our answer:
Hi Fintan,
It all depends on how and where you drive. Do mostly short journeys and mostly in town? Get a petrol. Do lots of long motorway miles and lengthy journeys? Get a diesel.
