.................. As long as the powers that be don't make life too difficult for diesel in the next few years (already Euro 3 is becoming difficult in this part of the world) it should do me until I'm in my early 80s. By then who knows what I will want to drive
VERY nice...
The new car will be Euro 6, so should be future proofed within your time line.
My view is that anything below Euro 5 will be a liability and restricted in where it can be used, especially in urban areas, within 3 years.
Euro 5 will be safe for a bit longer and Euro 6 probably OK for the next 10.
BUT I suspect the tax on diesel fuel will slowly rise, diesel cars likewise, so that by 2025 there will be little or no difference in costs.
Interestingly in India last week I noticed that CNG has taken over as the urban fuel of choice. It replaces both gasoline and diesel, and given the abundance from fracking in much of the world, it reduces dependance on imported oil.
Ut produces next to no pollution, mostly just CO2. Given it has a RON of 130 engines can perform well on it.
This is an interesting
