    Now looking at a new vehicle, and the other half likes our current diesels as well as I do. However, your advice is sound for the selection of a petrol vehicle for short trips. I have one fear tht one day one of us will forget what we are driving and put petrol in the diesel, or visa versa ...

    Since my A.C. has been out of action my economy has improved by almost 1l/100. Maybe I should drive with windows down more often.
