Interesting to see ICE petrol is winning so far.

Not much support for diesel so far. I guess ULEZ is to blame. A shame really, as a big powerful diesel is ideally suited to a large vehicle such as a Range Rover.

And VED and big difference in fuel cost

Petrol and as simple as possible, probably a Mazda 6 2.0 Skyactiv estate. If any are left when old Terrance the Toyota dies.

Be sure to check its structure.

Our 4.5 year old saloon was showing rust at the seams inside the boot when we sold it.

I ticked the ICE Petrol box but my answer was determined by timescales. If my old Focus died in the next few years then I would probably replace it with another petrol until the newer EV with better range start to filter down to the used market at prices I can justify. I only do 1500 miles a year so spending many thousands on an EV or hybrid makes no sense at the moment. But I am keeping an eye on things and the balance may well be very different in five years.

We’ve just ordered a Yaris cross hybrid, my current car is a mild hybrid, but the Yaris can run on electric and petrol, a full electric car would suit our driving but, as with many, range anxiety and charging infrastructure puts me off,

I'm one of the seven who chose EV. I already own one EV and lease a second. In a few years I'll look at changing my EV so I'm keeping an eye on what's available. Shortlist at the moment the Ora Funky Cat and the Trophy MG4. In a couple of years they'll undoubtedly come with a bigger battery. 200miles wltp is quite OK but 300 would be better. Its a trade off between cost/ range. But in any event it will be EV. It works for me as I home charge and I have a cheap night rate window.

Since HEVs can't run far in battery only mode, is there any true advantage over ICE cars - especially use case is mostly long journeys on motorways, where engine will fire in HEVs?

HEVs quote very high MPGs but isn't that bit too optimistic?

Diesel, my present one uses add blue. I put it in but don't know the effect on emissions.

Adblue reduces NOx and allows the use of the EGR, which also reduces NOx, to be reduced - with benefits to engine longevity and fuel economy.

If you do the opposite of what the government is advising you to do, you can't go wrong most of the time :o)
