Price comparison of popular fuel types for VW California:
In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: What's your typical weekly driving mileage? Are your trips usually short or do they cover longer distances?
If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Remember that diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities in various countries.
