So Uk car sales were down 5.5% over the previous year. That's actually not bad considering that everyone is apparently paralyzed by Brexit fear!

Diesels are down a massive 26.3% which is no surprise.
What did surprise me is that petrols were showing an increase greater than that of Alternatively fuelled vehicles (7.2% vs 6.1% respectively)

Business car buyers were much busier than last year accounting for a 16.8% increase in car registrations.

No figures to back it up but it seems that at least 1/2 of the BMW,MB,VW and Audis I see in my travels down under are diesel powered.
