I just went from diesel to petrol albeit it’s not a volvo.
I went from a golf 1.6 tdi 110 bhp to a honda civic 1.5 vtec dohc turbo 182 bhp and I was considering cancelling for various reasons, but so glad i didn’t. My original decsion on the car was spot on for all the reason that meant alot to me this time around and it is exactly what i wanted and thought it would be from test drive and specs etc. I have been driving diesels for over 9 years as well. They deffo different to a petrol engine. Plus unleaded is 6p a litre cheaper than diesel near me.. I wanted something sporty and still practical.
Yep I won’t get as many MPG as the diesel but overall i’ll get more thrills. Yesterday i went to the seaside a trip we made many a time and it was the most enjoyable trip their ever.. Somehow i also got just over 40 mpg over the 180 mile trip there and back. which I very happy about, was expecting less..
