More likely this is what has happened

Fears PCP boom could prompt crash similar to US mortgage crisis

"Nine out of 10 private new car buyers relied on a PCP agreement as the monthly payment option drove record new car sales."

People still buying diesel, after all the emissions scandals.

I'm shocked.

But for 2p / litre, what the heck! Who cares if people die?

Because past governments have made the tax situation in favour for diesel (at least for people using cars for work)

3yrs ago I brought a diesel as it was the best “environmental choice” electric won’t work for me yet due to range limitations

Sometime next year I will likely replace it but I will wait & see what the budget has to say on Diesel: rumoured scrappage scheme & the like
