Is Diesel Cheaper?

Diesel Annual Tax (€)

Diesel Price per Liter (€)

Diesel Consumption (L/100km)

Petrol Annual Tax (€)

Petrol Price per Liter (€)

Petrol Consumption (L/100km)

To offset the tax difference at 17500 km/year, a petrol car would need to consume at least 0.00L/100km, or the diesel price should be at least 0.00 €/L.

Calculation Formulas

Break-Even Petrol Consumption:

P_{Cons} = \frac{100 \times (dTax - pTax)}{annualKm \times pPrice} + \frac{dCons \times dPrice}{pPrice}

Minimum Diesel Price:

dPrice = (pCons - \frac{100 \times taxDiff}{annualKm \times pPrice}) \times \frac{pPrice}{dCons}

Cost Calculation:

Diesel Cost = dTax + (\frac{dPrice \times dCons}{100} \times annualKm)

Petrol Cost = pTax + (\frac{pPrice \times pCons}{100} \times annualKm)

Difference = Petrol Cost - Diesel Cost
