Gasoline and diesel market in Europe - statistics & facts
Diesel is the most consumed motor fuel by drivers in the European Union. This is largely due to its prevalence among heavy commercial vehicles such as trucks and tractors, while motor gasoline remains the most popular choice for conventionally-fueled passenger cars. Gasoline and diesel are common petroleum-based motor fuels, whose usage dates to the beginning of the automotive industry. Despite the commercialization of biofuels and the emergence of electric vehicles, most cars on the road are still powered by petroleum fuel blends and changes to supply and pricing have huge repercussions for consumers.
