at first glance one might think that as the numbers of diesel cars in the Irish fleet increases the average mileage of the fleet will also increase. but this is not necessarily the case. traditionally those who purchased diesels were more likely to be higher-mileage drivers but increasingly diesels are being purchased by drivers who consider the car represents better value in terms of fuel and taxation costs and not because they intend to drive further distances. therefore it will be interesting to see if the increase in diesels in the irish fleet has any impact on the average mileage reading in a few years – or – whether the average mileage figure for diesels will fall
