One of the biggest operational challenges we face is to make sure we get our customers into the right cars. Splitting out our cars into petrol and diesel makes this challenge even more difficult to achieve as our cars will be spread out more thinly across a greater number of car categories. If we were to split our cars in this way we would need to be able to make sure it is something we can deliver (as well as we being confident we could source the cars). It is far more difficult change than people would imagine!

For this reason, it is something we are not currently pursuing but it is still on the radar. Any further feedback from our customers would be appreciated on this as it helps us to gauge demand.

However, as Robert suggests, there is a greater proportion of diesels in our large car category. Also, all of the Audis in the Select Series are diesels.

I hope this helps.

As to environmental issues, the subject of which is better Petrol or Diesel is still debatable and a tricky one.
Let’s just say there are various factors to consider, and not every diesel engine car will be better to the environment then its petrol brother.

Even ignoring environmental concerns, many drivers would significantly prefer one or the other.
