Different experts said different things muddy.

The CO2 experts said diesel released less CO2 that the equivalent amount of driving with petrol.

The health experts said NOx released by diesel engines causes breathing problems, headaches, chronically reduced lung function, eye irritation, loss of appetite, and corroded teeth. The health experts also said that diesel exhaust emits solid particles that cause lung cancer.

Both sets of experts were right. It's up to you to decide what you think is more important when choosing a car.

Many diesel companies knew about these issues and used "defeat devices" to fake their emissions when they took them to be tested for certification. So it looked like the exhausts were safer than they are.

Weird you didn't see many EVs. We popped across to Woopi recently and saw quite a few - and we didn't even spend that much time on the highway.

Nope - the powers to BE were the ones pushing diesel - or do you have selective memory?

Not ONE EV towing ----say sit all really. not fit for purpose - or don't venture from home....kinda defeats the purpose of having a car doesn't it!

And again NOT ONE EV in Australia (or the world could have the the driving I required --with out adding over a day & 100 coffees burp
