Still think that electric cars are not yet prime time, you are still a guinea pig if you buy one.
I love diesel SUV’sDiesel is the panacea to all ills - we die slowly.
Why notI never thought I would see those four words in the same sentence.
You have a short memoryDiesel was never said to be good for environment.![]()
Oxymorons are invariably ambiguous. Its like have politicians and truth in the same sentence.

Diesel was promoted as a more environmentally friendly fuel as part of the EU’s response to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO₂). Diesel engines are “lean-burn”, meaning they use less fuel and more air to get the same performance as a petrol engine.

According to modern science, using diesel fuel reduces the harmful CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming. Diesel engines are more efficient than gas engines. So even though diesel contains more carbon than gas, efficient diesel engines emit less of it into the air.

It’s a shame that Diesel engines are demonised and the subsequent knee jerk reaction that ensues. Of course they are not perfect - no form of transport is. They really have come on massively over the years and I am sure would get more environmentally friendly had Gvts not forced manufacturers down the electric route and diverting R&D budgets away from internal combustion engines.You have a short memory

Where in any of the quote does it say its good for the environment? No ICE car is although politicians have claimed some are better/worse than others. I stand by my original post 😉You have a short memory

It could be argued no vehicles ICE or Electric are good for the environment There is even pollution apparently caused by tyre particles when driven. We are also yet to see mountains of exhausted batteries accumulating and the environmental consequences of this. Yes some precious metals will be recycled. Millions of perfectly good EV’s will eventually be written off prematurely due to the end of the life of the battery and the lack of cost effectiveness of fitting new batteries. great!Where in any of the quote does it say its good for the environment?

We were told reducing by green house gas emissions diesel was good for the environment.Diesel was never said to be good for environment.![]()
I love mine as wellI love diesel SUV’s
