Jacktari Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The Diesel Engine was not designed to run on petroleum, hence the problems. It was actually designed to run on peanut oil, of all things. Imagine the amount of peanuts you would need to run the engines of a massive container ship.

geared Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The fact that diesels are more polluting than petrol is not new. About twenty or more years ago one of my work colleagues, who was into saving the planet, decided not to buy a diesel as the research she had done showed they were more polluting than petrol The government knew as well, but decided to ignore all the known facts and chase CO2 numbers as that was 'in vogue'.

bertyboop Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) same here honda civic 2.2 diesel may be loud but will do 100 miles on a tenner how is a honda civic a chav car??? thank you! I would sway more towards the vw with the chav wagon to be honest. There's one across from where I live who leaves his ticking over in a morning. Anyone would think a tractors outside. ---------- Post added 10-02-2017 at 09:59 ---------- My partner has a diesel honda crv, he's 24. I have a honda civic petrol. I'm 24. The honda jazz is more for the pensioners in my experience. Edited February 10, 2017 by bertyboop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
