Hasn't diesel caused a huge soot problem? they emit a lot more
particulate matter?


Not these days. Perticulate emissions have been VERY tightly controlled
in the last couple of rounds of Euro emission standards.

Of course, particulate filters in diesel exhausts bring a whole new range
of problems, but...


Not worth the bother using diesel.


I'm pretty happy using my Land Rover..

The only issue is finding garages with high fill rate commercial pumps
so that I can fill it quickly. With 90 litres plus at a time, it
takes a while with ordinary mimsy pumps.
