Aye but not by very much & we're still robbed for tax on it.

Diesel should always be cheaper than petrol. This country rips us off again.

Diesel should cost at least ten times more than petrol. On top of that it should be law that anyone who buys it has their legs slapped while they are filling up.

Why? It costs more to make and thus costs more to buy

They're taxed at the same rate at 52.95 pence per litre.

It's a shame they got rid of the strip speedos on the MK3. Presumably because of cost. I quite like black tulip (purple)
