Should You Buy a Diesel or Petrol Car in Kent?

Choosing between petrol and diesel depends on your commute.

• Diesel works best for long A2 and M20 drives, offering better fuel economy.
• Petrol is ideal for short trips around Dover or Folkestone where diesel particulate filters can clog.

Key tip: If you drive under 8,000 miles a year, petrol is usually the safest and cheapest option.
