About this grade

What is Diesel?

3

Diesel powers compression-ignition engines and must never be mixed with petrol. Its price tends to follow freight and wholesale costs rather than the weekly petrol cycle, which is why diesel can be cheap or dear at different times to unleaded.

How it compares

  • DieselvsPetrol

    Diesel engines are more efficient over long distances but the fuel and servicing can cost more. Diesel prices also move on their own cycle rather than the weekly petrol one.
