The government here in UK did a good stitch up on everyone - Diesel was cheaper then petrol then once everyone started buying them (Diesels are very popular here and account for around 50% of the car market) the duty levels changed and now diesel is 30 "cents/pence" per gallon dearer (£1.37/l with petrol £1.30/l).

So yes I love my diesel - and do see myself every going back to a petrol car, but thats how we got to this position.
