It is now obvious why petrol can cause shoulder-jolting acceleration: as a consequence of being much lighter, it ignites much more quickly than dense diesel fuel. However, due to being denser, diesel packs more hydrocarbons and, therefore, more energy per unit of volume than petrol. Typically,...
Get out of the similarly punchy mid-range and venture into the top end, however, and the petrol engine’s extra potency becomes clear. It’s an absurdly quick car for something weighing around two tonnes, hitting 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, a drop of just two tenths relative to the...

In petrol engines, the combustion of pre-mixed mixture occurs through an ignition via thecar’s spark plugs. This is a rather calm operation and creates less noise as both petrol and air are mixed properly. Diesel engines depend on a high compression ratio of air. Since only air is compres...
A recent comprehensive study revealed that modern electric vehicles are now as durable and reliable as traditional petrol and diesel cars. According to the research, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) now have an average lifespan of 18.4 years, matching that of their internal combustion engine counter...
Company car drivers can pick from several power sources, but some are easier and cheaper to run than others. Here are the pros and cons of petrols, diesels, hybrids, PHEVs and electric fleet cars...Company car drivers used to have it pretty easy when it came to deciding what sort of...
