Well, here in blighty diesel used to be cheaper than petrol, this, encouraged by the government, led to many people buying diesel cars. Over time diesel became more expensive with the addition of higher fuel duty. dutylolz. I'd expect your model to follow the same lines.... be afraid, be very afraid.

Currently 1 litre of diesel can be as much as £1.41.9 (indeed higher in some places), with petrol being about 5ppl cheaper.

in real terms it means filling up from empty will cost about £130.00 per tank (89L).
This is with the bog-standard economy diesel fuel, never mind about your V-power from shell or whatever.
It makes me rage every time I get rapped at the pump.
