My new car is diesel but not by choice but because I had to cancel my petrol 1.5 TSi VW Touran and settle for an off the shelf diesel KIA Carens.
With the reports of how the 1.5 TSi is working with the Touran with its lacklustre performance I’m so thankful that fiat drove me back to diesel and last week going over the hills and far away with a fully laden MPV I was more than happy with the cars performance not being reduced by the heavy load.
I live in Bristol myself and not too worried about any ban they impose on cars and I say cars in general because once the foot is in the door and the thickos who rule our world wake up and find diesel were not the problem they will then pick on petrol, it’s what’s know as divide and rule.
Lucky for me I’m retired and have no real need to go into the city centre any more and with most of what I buy nowadays coming from Amazon or good online retailers so it’s the local council choice to give up our roads to buses so now they face the consistences of closing down shops and no rates being paid, their decisions not mine.
Just to put your mind at rest should you be unfortunate to have to go into the city centre, in Bath, who are going along the same route as Bristol the ban does not effect private cars but that could off course change because of the afore mentioned town hall thickos.
