petrol vs diesel

what is your prefered fuel type and why?

in my opinion there is no difference in running cost. i`ll explain

every monday i put £40 petrol into my laguna for the week .. when i had the diesel 2.0td BMW i still ended up putting £40 a week in ..

in kent there is about 8p diff between petrol and diesel, now i don`t know if having a renault diesel would make any difference !!

i think it comes down to how you drive i can get 60 odd mpg out of the lag sometimes dont think i could get that in a petrol . fuels seems exspensive in kent up here its about 3p difference

i get 36mpg in the petrol at the moment ... most of my drive is 5th gear cruising, i drive quite economically, unless there is some little chav in a stupid low saxo then i give it some lol

Dont blame you I do the same lol

The most I've ever got out of mine is about 54mpg and mines a diesel but I can't help having a heavy foot at times I just love the performance of my car

i do think the lagunas have quite a bit of torque , even my 120bhp non turbo engine pulls nice in 5th, when overtaking i don`t need to drop down a gear ... love the look on the chavs face when this huge renault flies past them lol

It is great to see the look on there faces . Should seen the bloke in his bmw the other day was priceless

Yeah I beat a BMW 1 series but he had to pull in behind me as my lane was running out we were like neck and neck with each other and then the police coming the other way, god that was a close one. Then after the lane went into like a dual carriage way again think he got pissed off and drove fast afterwards I went to normal speed as at the time was hoping the police didn't come back in-which they didn't thank god.

i do like the ommph you get from the turbo ... i try not to go above 80mph as the engine seems to rev to high lol

I love beating snobs of the line who think theyve gotthe best car in the world because it cost them 30k and it german lol

You cant beat abit of turbo power thats why cillit bang promote it lol

though you said clit bang ! lol

Can't say it any better myself it's not that German cars are s*** it's the people that are s*** at driving and puts you off them, plus I find them very bland inside and out very boring to be honest.
