Whats best – Petrol vs Diesel?
There’s no easy answer as both types produce harmful exhaust gases. If you tend to make mainly urban journeys, you should choose a small, petrol powered car. Smaller cars use less fuel, cause less congestion and are easier to park whereas diesel cars produce more particles that can aggravate certain medical conditions such as asthma. Example : Smart cars. These are small cars that are cheap to buy (RRP £6800) and extremely fuel efficient. The two seater 700cc model achieves up to 70mpg and if you pay an extra £2000 for an LPG conversion, its emissions rating is even better.
