Diesel Or Gasoline?


Recommended Posts

DIESEL

 

Diesel has more usable energy when compared to gasoline. As such, it can deliver better fuel economy. Compared to its gas counterpart, diesel engines get 30% better fuel economy. And that’s a big advantage for vehicle owners, particularly those who drive long distances each day. Why should it matter to them? For one, a tank of diesel can get one farther than a tank of gas. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s faster to fuel up with diesel compared to gas.

A diesel-powered vehicle doesn’t have spark plugs or distributors. As such, they don’t need ignition tune-ups. This is a benefit for those who don’t like to have their vehicles inspected regularly. Then again, regular maintenance is still required to keep the car performing well and to lengthen its life as well.

Diesel fuel is cheaper and generally diesel engines have higher mileage. However, maintenance cost of diesel and cost of diesel vehicles is higher than gasoline. I tried computing and the savings diesel price provides in 5 years versus gasoline vis a vis my mileage does not exceed the extra cost of a diesel vehicle.

 

Gasoline provides better acceleration and in general is more drivable.

 

Both have pros and cons.
