BBC News Diesel pumps could run dry, says RAC Foundation Britain's diesel pumps could "run dry" because of a growing dependence on foreign fuel, according to the RAC Foundation. The motoring research group said diesel demand had been rising for decades, but UK refineries were struggling to cope. There were 11 million diesel cars on the road last year, compared with just 1.6 million in 1994. The RACF said that, at this rate, diesel would be four times more popular than petrol by 2030.

Not sure this isn't scaremongering tbf. Diesel has dropped to a lower price than petrol as of late due to the Saudi's starting to produce it too. There's more Diesel on the market than ever before. |

I drive a petrol car and do about 20 miles per week, so hopefully I'll be okay

I've had my moments Mike, but I'm glad those days are behind me and I can now enjoy the more genteel motoring of a retired person. Your time will come, eventually
