yup - why else would diesel be more expensive than petrol.... it's the only european country where that is the case.

For those with recent petrol cars (last 6 years), most models can be GPLd for around a couple of grand. If GPL stays at ~half that of petrol/diesel for at least 3 years, you are making a profit. With the future of "cleaner fuels", I'd say the price gap will get wider as time goes on.

That or by a GPL car to start with
