Petrol is now cheaper, but there are more diesel cars than petrol (I think)

I have no idea whether it's a tax thing or not.

We've gone from 30-35% ish diesels on the road to more like 60% and AFAIK we ran out of spare processing capacity about 2 years ago, all the refineries that can produce diesel in europe, are now doing so. And we aren't allowed to build more.

Then they taxed it more.
