Diesel is still cheaper both absolutely and by distance driven in most European countries even if the penetration of Diesel vehicles is much higher than in the US.
- monkeynotes 13y agoDiesel in the UK and France, in my own experience, is more expensive per litre than petrol. Diesel is more expensive partly because all the tight regulations on emissions, low sulfur and all nonsense.
- jtheory 13y agoI've been living in France (and driving a diesel Peugeot 206) since 2006; diesel (gazole) is always cheaper than standard petrol (and that's part of why I bought this car). See: http://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/ http://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/ You do seem to be correct about the UK, though -- diesel is a bit more expensive than basic unleaded petrol.
- cjrp 13y agoBut you also get more energy per litre than petrol, so it actually works out cheaper.
