If you drive a diesel, I feel your pain. But look on the bright side: your engine lasts longer, and you get more miles per gallon. Just don’t do the math on total cost per year—it’ll ruin your Wednesday.
My advice? Check local taxes before buying your next car. In some places, petrol is a steal; in others, it’s a scam. And if you really want to stick it to the system, buy a bicycle. Just don’t expect me to join you—I like my heated seats.
So the next time someone smugly tells you petrol is cheaper than diesel, you can nod wisely and say, “Yeah, it’s about taxes, refining, and a decade of bad PR for a fuel that actually does its job.” Then walk away, leave them at the pump, and let them google it later.
