Diesel Or Gasoline?


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

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

 

 

---------

GAS

pros:

cheaper maintenance long term

lower outright cost of unit

lower insurance cost

quiet and smooth operation

 

 

cons:

higher price of gas

di masyado malakas hatak pero better top speed, better on the highway
