Default Petrol or Diesel car?

65mpg in London - far superior. The city is crawling with them. And
they are improving the performance with coming models. The drive is
peerless. Worth buying for the drive alone. Silent at traffic lights and
when stopped. I hate vibrating engines and at tick-over a diesel is the
pits. The difference from a diesel and a Prius is night and day. Many
hybrids are coming onto the market. The Chevy Volt is coming this
year. Electric motors propel the car.


Some of us have more sense than to try to drive through London. It's
small enough, and well enough served by the Tube not to need a car.

Will the Volt really be better?
