Brits Like Higher-CO2 Gasoline More Than Diesel, T+35 -- July 5, 2018

From The Financial Times, do as I say, not as I do:

UK sales of new diesel cars fell by 30 per cent in the first six months of this year, as buyers shunned the once-dominant fuel in favour of higher-CO2 petrol. 

Diesel sales fell to 428,612 between January and June, compared to 613,985 in the same period a year earlier. 

Petrol sales climbed 11 per cent to 812,535, taking the fuel’s market share to 61.8 per cent, compared to 52 per cent a year earlier. 

Total UK car sales over the six months fell 6.3 per cent to 1.3m, as the market declined following years of strong growth. Sales in June slipped by 3.5 per cent, despite sales of new cars across Europe rising in the same month.
