what the fuel types mean

• ⛽petrol Cheapest to buy, simple, but fuel is expensive in NL.
• 🛢️diesel Frugal on long trips, but NL road tax is much higher and city bans are growing.
• 🔌plug-in Bigger battery you charge from a plug; short trips can be fully electric.
• 🍃hybrid Petrol engine + small battery that charges itself. Great for city driving.
• 🔥LPG Runs on autogas (cheap fuel) via a conversion; extra road tax in NL.
