That includes bio-fuel (bio-diesel if you like) made from rape seed oil, or any cooking oil will do. So, if you want to solve the problem of diesel oil fuel (made from crude oil) then why not petition the government , and the fuel companies, to invest in the production of bio-fuels instead of killing the planet with the production of batteries from rare and expensive metals.

    Anyone that states that diesel engines are a problem is talking absolute tulip.

    The Civic (not a 4 door family saloon or an SUV) sits roughly in the middle between the two. (7.43.8)

    But comparing the Stelvio QV with the BMW X5 M50D(F15) shows it for what it truly is - less expensive and far better than the German.

    Compared to the SQ7? Similar price, but that's where the similarities end.

    Bit of a moot point really seeing as most people here live in the UK and not only is the speed limit only 70 but the roads are full, mind you, you can get to the next set of traffic lights or queue quicker than anyone else

    If you have to have the badge prestige and are feeling particularly flush, Alfa Romeo Giulia QV.

    The 2cv Sahara (twin engines 4x4 ) will cost around £50,000 if you can find one for sale.

    Milan only drives giant diesel monsters that can tow a 747.
