if prices are to be the main basis for choosing, then it has to be diesel

 

there's a P10/liter difference . and that's huge!

Recently, I noticed government personnel pulling over diesel powered vehicles along EDSA (the stretch between Buendia and Ayala Avenue southbound). These government personnel seem to be conducting emission tests on said vehicles.

 

This is crazy considering I've seen buses late at night that spew black smoke that's so thick, I can't even see the bus anymore. These government personnel should go after smoke belching buses late at night instead.

i made a detailed study basing on our gas (2.7 VVTI) and diesel (2.5 D4D) fortuner

 

mixed driving (city and highway) - around 40KM daily driving in city and then about 200km drive out of town weekends

CONCLUSION:

short term (1 - 5 year ownership) - pareho lang gastos mo

longer than 5 years mas nakakatipid na sa gas

since i prefer comfort in my SUV gas talaga ako

 

DIESEL

pros:

daily savings cheaper by 10php and better mileage

engine is very reliable

strong pulling power.. for towing

 

cons:

higher outright cost of unit (around 100K php more than gas variant)

higher insurance cost

higher maintenance cost (more parts to maintain and more expensive parts)

noise has been greatly reduced in modern diesel engine but it is STILL there

diesel - most diesel engines are euro 4 compliant. My diesel suvs can even beat 2.0L gas engines even when weve passed the 160kph mark.
