I was surprised when passing one of my local Essos yesterday, petrol was 98.9 ppl and diesel 95.9. Something I've not seen before!

I also opted for the diesel over petrol because of the way it drove rather than economy, I do 15-16K per year but even so the fuel usage doesn't justify it. I just like the way the modern diesels perform.

I have also recently noticed diesel cheaper than (or the same price as) unleaded.
