erico2k2:In the UK, owners of diesel cars pay less road tax than users of petrol cars and this is because diesel engines are adjudged to have less CO2 emissions. |

Diesel cars are da bomb. I've been using this old Toyota Landcruiser with manual transmission for over 4 yeas now, while the guy i got it from had used it for about 3 prior to my getting it, and good NL people i have never had cause to regret. The AC na die. I still get people stopping me once in a while and begging me to sell, but i cant fathom selling, even in my dreams. From now on, its diesel all d way for me!! 2 Likes 1 Share

erico2k2:Well I dont know about a plans to change the diesel car tax band. But to date in the UK, car tax is still dictated by CO2 emissions and diesel cars still pay less. |

A lot of reasons. Some of which are: 1. Most Nigerians dont seek advice from REAL EXPERTS rather they seek it from quack mechanics that are everywhere. 2. Most Nigerians spare part dealers hardly import the mechanical parts of diesel car versions. 3. Most diesel cars are from europe and importing cars room europe is most times(almost all the time) more expensive than from the USA/Canada. 4. point number 1 above 5. point number 1 above 2 Likes 1 Share |

yomz1e: It is debatable. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions are much more in petrol engines. Meanwhile, NOx and particulates emissions are much more in diesel engines. 1 Like |

6digitscomrade:u bought adulterated diesel most likely mixed with kerosene and fuel since they are cheaper. unscrupulous filling stations pull that stunt regularly to make quick bucks. petrol is 87 naira and kero is 83 naira. if you mix fuel, kero and diesel in a ratio of 1:2:5, you will get a product that you can sell with a margin of almost 50% assuming the price of diesel is 150 naira. older diesel engines can run on pure vegetable oil. I use some quantity in my car. usually old cooking oil that missus would had thrown away. there is caveat to this stunt. your diesel engine should be o the older common rail technology usually pre 2000. ur fuel lines and tank must be clear of muck. vegetable oil usually cleans up the line and tank and carries this debris into ur injectors. this causes a lot of issues. however 3 to 4 litres of clean used vegetable oil won't harm a diesel engine. these engines can even run on engine oil!. 1 Like 1 Share |
