Dear forum participants, the difference between the use of a diesel and petrol unit is not yet clear to me. 1. The diesel’s tax is higher + 100 € 2. The purchase price is higher +1000 € The consumption is cheaper (calculated at 15,000 km) ……………………………………………..- 300 € Is a diesel only suitable for long distances or would it wear more if the journey to the workplace, for example, is only 6 km? can diesel cars take more maintenance than petrol? Can diesel cars take more frequent start-ups than petrol?
