Odd. The stats you point to say otherwise. Says motor gasoline is down (1.9%) and diesel is up (4.7%) – so it's kind of a wash.
More interestingly (in the context of this news of divestment) the total figures are down year on year on year
(in 1000 litres units)
2012 9 635 521
2013 9 279 405
2014 8 995 567
2015 8 827 093
2016 8 790 684
In light of those figures divestment looks sensible.
- semi-extrinsic 9y agoNo, you have to look at just the sum of dutiable diesel and gasoline, which shows no decrease (even an increase). Most of the change you're summarizing above is reduced usage of light fuel oil (for heating), marine fuel and heavy distillate, particularly the latter two. Those changes are not caused by EVs.
