Not to mention all the restrictions on diesel cars driving through city centres. People used to choose diesel because it was cheaper, so this disproportionately affected poor people - EU's war on personal transportation continues.
- NomDePlum 3y agoCan't say for certain in the whole of the EU but in the UK diesel hasn't been cheaper than petrol in 16 years. I can say this with some certainty as I bought a diesel car 16 years ago partly because it would be cheaper.
- ido 3y agoEU's war on personal transportation continues. Very ineffective war unfortunately, as here in Germany they still seem to invest more in road building than in bike and rail extension (e.g. the A100 extension in Berlin - building a highway through the city as if it’s 1970). I wish we could be more like our neighbours in the Netherlands in this (and other) respects!
