• Which? Confirms Hidden Costs of Running Diesel Cars 7 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  The tables in the Which? report didn't consider residual values at all.  Apart from the fuel savings, my '09 XF 3.0d cost £1k more than the petrol 3.0, and is now worth £4k more at trade-in. And it's a better drive!  A typical Which? headline grabber with little substance.  The real question
