Many are still stuck with the question: are diesel or petrol cars better? The real question to ask, however, is another. How long can we still use our diesel car? Indeed, it seems that today’s policies will lead us to have to archive our diesel vehicles. If the future is without fuel, with hybrid or electric cars, between petrol and diesel it seems that petrol will win. And very soon. That’s why diesel cars will disappear sooner than you think and you have to buy petrol cars.
The main differences between diesel engines and petrol engines
The main difference between diesel and petrol cars lies in the way combustion occurs. As we all know, gasoline is highly flammable. In fact, a spark in the engine is enough to start combustion and therefore the engine. He diesel instead it needs compression. These fuels are both derived from petroleum but have different levels of refining. A diesel car will also be more powerful uphill and starting, but it has less power than petrol when traveling under normal conditions. The price also changes. And in Italy diesel costs less than petrol. Sometimes the gap is very large and is around twenty cents per liter.

While these differences may seem insignificant, in reality they are not. The diesel engine is in fact more polluting than petrol. And not a little. According to the UN, diesel emissions can cause cancer and serious illness. Diesel therefore appears to be destined to disappear. And very soon. But by when?
According to some experts, diesel cars will have disappeared within ten years. Others say that by 2030 only 9% of vehicles will be diesel. The reasons are clear. Even those who are not interested in the environment are increasingly choosing petrol vehicles. If petrol costs more, these cars can circulate almost anywhere.
In fact, in the main cities, traffic blocks only affect diesel cars. And these limits don’t just affect old engines. In cities such as Turin and Milan, in fact, the blocks sometimes also involve euro5 diesel engines.
But this is not the only reason. Car manufacturers have stopped producing diesel. Volvo will not produce diesel cars beyond 2021. And FCA, the old Fiat, after 2022.
The future is hybrid or electric. However, anyone who wants to continue driving a fossil fuel vehicle must opt for petrol. And quickly.

Diesel comes from power!!!
Ok in 2030 there are no diesel cars. Question: How we can transport comercial stuff with no diesel trucks? Petrol engines dont have enough N/M . And petrol cars engines are not too powerful to tug a 10 tons of stuff.
