Petrol Or Diesel .?

[Dave]

Is your work vehicle a Petrol or Diesel engine ... .?

I've always had a diesel van but seeing as petrol is always cheaper than diesel now and newer petrol engines are getting really good on economy , have you changed to petrol or stuck with diesel.?

 

[J Sid]

I have diesel but I would be happy with a petrol.
Ideally I would have electric, but until the oil companies release the better battery technology which they have, we will have to wait.

 

[Dave]

Is there many electric vans , I've never looked .

 

[Spare Tool]

I run a diesel van, girlfriends got a newish eco petrol golf that's supposed to do about 60 to the gallon...not when I've constantly got it in sport mode it don't

 

[CJ]

I thought the majority of vans were diesel?

Heard Ford are going to do more development on petrol engines, with the amount of crap in London concerning diesel engines petrol might be the way to go.

New petrol engines cause more air pollution than dirty diesels | Transport & Environment

ps. I've had lymphoma caused by what I don't know but the amount of toxins in the atmosphere caused by traffic in the UK is minuscule compared to China and the USA

diesel for me, my L200 might be a bit of a sluggish tank, but it fits my lfestyle just fine...oh, got a new decal on it too

 

[Just Rizzle]

bought a new transit about 10 yrs ago now was a 2ltr petrol with a lpg conversion fitted by ford was great cheap to run till the gas pump in the tank failed then had to run on petrol till ford could replace it under warranty. The van had 100k warranty on it or 3yrs which ever came first . all in all had 3 tanks fitted befor traded it in for a Renault traffic. that was a mistake had 3 yrs 3 mts when engine blue up.
we now have 2 transits a lwb transit 2.2 ltr and a new ford courier 1.6 ltr diesel which is focus based gets over 55 mpg
