Fact Check: are diesel cars really more polluting than petrol cars?

Diesel cars have recently become subject to considerable negative publicity thanks to the amount of toxic emissions they produce. Some governments are planning to discourage their use or even ban them from urban areas altogether. Yet some diesel car owners have reacted angrily, arguing they bought the vehicles because they were supposedly the environmentally friendly option.

    whether diesel cars pollute more or not, I don't know. But Diesel cars have higher service cost, so in the long run both diesel and petrol cost you more or less the same. Hence it's better to buy petrol rather than Diesel.
