Drivers never seem to have a very good time of things when it comes to the price of diesel or petrol. In recent years, legislation has hit drivers hard. Many people changed from petrol to diesel engine cars from the mid nineties onwards, as they’d been told that diesel was both cost effective, and gave off less dangerous fumes than petrol. The idea that diesel was less polluting than petrol was also supported by EU policy.

Young drivers who have passed their test probably can’t wait to get their first car, without necessarily understanding what that might cost. Running a car is expensive, and for those just starting to drive, it’s even more expensive. Young drivers face much higher insurance costs because insurance companies regard new, and especially new, young drivers, as a greater risk. The first thing that you need to do after passing your test is to swap your provisional for a full driving licence.
