Re:VW Scandal Will Speed Up Diesel's Demise by DanBC on Monday October 05, 2015 @07:24AM (#10331069)
We have pretty good numbers for costs of diesel vs petrol.

Diesel has always been more expensive, but there have been a few times (2007) where the prices got close.

And that's just the cost of the fuel from the pump - it doesn't take into account MPG of the car or duty benefits for diesel car ownership.

> MPG of the car

Also not that diesel is more energy dense per unit volume. (And a US gallon is different to an imperial/British one)
