It depends. If 'they' tax the f**k out of diesels etc or ban them
totally in towns, they might be the only option for commuter journeys.

Yeah right.

Ban petrol cars whilst the alternatives all cost over 40 grand

He was talking about diesel powered cars.

he said "diesels etc"

I interpreted that as "diesels and petrol" otherwise the response is
"everyone will drive petrol cars then".

on a scale of 1 to 10, where diesel is 10, and electric 0, petrol is a 9.

there would be no point at all banning diesels as route to making
everyone take up electric cars

I'm a bit surprised that the govt hasn't announced an intention to do
this some time in the future. They are a menace.

all those taxis and lorries would have to go

Don't forget most buses, too.
