My mate used to have a sports car that could reach 90 going up Brownlow hill. He got shut because it was no good to him.
He lived at number 96 (I thank you)

Can't believe that I had to quote my own post to show the white writing. I feel such a failure now

With respect, I think you are wrong.

WHEN CAN I USE RED DIESEL?
The rules on red diesel are depending on your automobile and what you’re using it for, there are a number of rules on what you can use red diesel for. Here we give you a breakdown of the latest rules on red diesel as they can be difficult and fairly confusing.

WHAT VEHICLES DO THE RULES ON USING RED DIESEL APPLY TO?

• Tractors and light farming vehicles for example self-propelled cutters – providing they are merely used for gardening, agriculture or forestry purposes.
• Mowers
• Gritters and automobiles used to clear snowfall
• Road structure vehicles
• Movable cranes and bulldozers
• Construction vehicles, e.g. diggers, JCBs and tippers.
• Vehicles approved for partial use and which are merely used for farming, forestry or gardening purposes. These automobiles can likewise only be used on open roads amongst different parts of land used by the same individual and the distance must not surpass 1.5km
• Work automobiles must obey the same guidelines as above though the distance can’t surpass 1km

IS THERE ANY RESTRICTION TO USING RED DIESEL FOR AGRICULTURAL CONTRACTORS?
You can use red diesel as long as you are using it exclusively for farming, horticultural or forestry work and the automobile must be listed for farming use.

WHAT ARE THE PENALTY CHARGES FOR USING THE WRONG DIESEL?
If you’re found to be using red diesel in a position where you shouldn’t be you might be penalised between £250 and £500. Your automobile could likewise be detained.

CAN I CARRY TWO SEPARATE TANKS SO I CAN SWITCH BETWEEN WHITE AND RED DIESEL?
No, this is not likely as it’s unlawful to transport two diesel cisterns that are equally able to be joined to the diesel engine.

That sounds way more complicated than choosing 87 or 89 or 93

Seriously this. Having bought an electric car, I'm never buying an ICE again.

Have you got kids? You can always rent an ICE for travel, but not sure electric would handle the grind with kids.

And it's illegal to use red diesel in cars.

Petrol unless you do 20k miles a year.

This.

I would've said a bit less to be honest, but the costs of servicing diesels outweigh the cheaper fuel costs unless you do a decent amount of mileage.

Literally the last thing I worry about when buying a car is the type of fuel it uses.
