Diesel – Diesel cars are more fuel efficient than equivalent sized petrol engines and also produce less greenhouse gas, making them more environmentally friendly than petrol cars. The purchase price of a diesel is usually higher than an equivalent petrol model, but the additional expense can be recouped in improved fuel economy and reduced tax. The performance of diesel vehicles has improved dramatically over recent years, and diesel cars are increasing popular. A high mileage diesel car will be easier to sell than a high mileage petrol car.
