There is less CO2 from diesels, a lot less - this is reflected in lower road tax (which is good thing).
All that particulate bull does not justify higher price - there are particulate filters in modern diesels anyway.
It's all about revenue - HMRC were tulip scared that people started shifting to diesels, so they had to (from their point of view) start increasing diesel fuel duty as less overall fuel will be used as more and more people switch to diesel. One would imagine it is a good thing (CO2 wise and also not giving money to backwards countries that use them against the West), but no - tax reasons are higher than national security ones.
For once I agree with you. Happy New Year AtW
