irvin1130 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Guys as we all know gasoline is more quiet,faster and more accurate. But the technology of diesel is fast catching up to the capabilities of gasoline plus the efficiency of its consumption and price of diesoline. Now if you were to choose what will it be and your opinion about it? This will definitely affect my decision on what to buy to replace my bike coz winter is fast coming. Quote Link to comment

Seyer95 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I prefer gasoline because here in the USdiesel is more expensive. Quote Link to comment
myfreeride Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 im sort of in a market of a new car/mini suv/suv. Im trying to decide on gas or diesel vehicle. I currently drive an Xtrail. I have not had any major problem with it except that I already replaced the alternator. Ive owned and driven a diesel vehicle before. Matipid talaga and maintenance wise, ok din naman. But are the CRDIs or new diesel engines really good? Quote Link to comment
Google Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 my take. diesel is cheaper.but for those vehicles with TDCi or CRDi, the cost is higher for maintenance. ok ang diesel kung old school diesel like the ones used by Isuzu Crosswinds. Quote Link to comment
irvin1130 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Prices of diesel and gasoline here in Spain is almost the same. Last week ive tried the audi a3(diesel), bmw120(diesel) and fiat bravo(gasoline). This week i'll be seeing the civic,renault and volkswagen. By then i can decide what to buy. Any info or feedback you can share with this models? Quote Link to comment

karim06 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Gasoline - Smoother, Faster and Quiet. Madumi diesel fuel dito sa pinas. Di tatagal kotse rito. Quote Link to comment

Di tatagal kotse rito. yup that's what i've heard,d daw tumatagal sa projected life ang euro diesel engine sa pinas kasi sa quality ng diesoline Quote Link to comment
frageco Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Gasoline - Smoother, Faster and Quiet. Madumi diesel fuel dito sa pinas. Di tatagal kotse rito. Definitely true... Khit bumili ka ng bagong diesel powered vehicle dto mausok parin... hindi kc refine ung diesoline ntin dto sa pinas, unlike in other countries specially in Europe. When it come to Diesel engines .. nothing beat Isuzu and Nissan.. :goatee: Quote Link to comment

oldfart Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It depends if you plan to keep your car for a long time and if you are a heavy user in terms of mileage. Remember, the difference between a diesel powered car (brand new) and a gas powered one ranges between 100 - 150k. The difference between diesel and gas right now is less than P10 a liter. So if you think you can get back that extra 150k you doled out for a diesel engined car, go for it... otherwise, go for gas. Quote Link to comment
Tom Hiddleston Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I drive a gas mid size SUV & dream of getting a diesel car. Why? Because diesel is a more viscous fuel and carries more energy per kilo than gasoline. With the advent of common rail diesel technology, engineers were able to effectively get the most out of diesel fuel. Audi has been racing a CRDiesel in the Le Mans and has been dominating.

chuckE Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Gasoline. Diesel is too dirty, as in emissions. Solid particulates. It actually is visible to the naked eye. didikit sa lungs mo. Very toxic. Quote Link to comment

Nuf saidyup agree with you euro diesel engine are now even or greater than gasoline engine.ive gotten the VW Golf 2.0 cdi and it feels great,rides great and accelerate like a gasolinethe only thing i dont like about this is engine sound,maingay talaga compare sa gasoline Quote Link to comment
aoki Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'd say Gasoline because of the acceleration it offers. I currently have 2 diesel vehicles and 1 gasoline fueled vehicle, somehow, driving the gas vehicle is more fun. Quote Link to comment
