Granted that Diesels are cheaper now due to demonisation but would it really make *that* much of an impact to your daily driving?
At some point you’re going to have to sell the Derv car too so you’ll get less back (theoretically, unless they suddenly come back into fashion if China kicks off with Taiwan and we stop importing electrical things from there bearing in mind the amount of Western investment in Chinese EV’s) so that will kind of even out.
Diesel seems to be 6 to 8p a litre dearer everywhere I’ve gone past recently and the GTI happily runs on 95 and can easily do 40mpg in cross country use using sensible driving techniques. Unless you’re doing mega miles you probably won’t save a fortune and won’t be sat in such a nice car. Nicer things tend to cost a bit more but they make you… err, Happy
