Diesel or Gasoline?

Market Segment

Regarding official statistics, diesel engines are now available in 50 states from different manufacturers. Diesel passenger cars traditionally are offered by Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz and more brands are offering diesel power these days.

Price

Engines working on diesel fuel are usually more expensive in production than traditional gasoline engines. The reason of this — the extra measure of durability required to withstand the stress of high-compression diesel combustion, option such as turbochargers that improve performance and additional exhaust treatment needed to reduce emissions in atmosphere. As a result, the market price of a diesel car is usually higher than gasoline-powered vehicle.

Fuel Economy

Back in the days, diesel engines were noisy, smelly things suited only for heavy-duty industrial purposes. Today advances in technology have extremely lowered these parameters. Diesel engine fuel economy is better than that of their gasoline-powered brothers. Sheer power also is impressive — lots of torque is available at low rpm, which makes diesel power better for towing heavy weights and trailers.

Operating Costs

The excellent mpg of a diesel can be partially offset by the higher price of diesel fuel. The better durability of diesel hardware can be offset by the costs of maintaining the emissions hardware. And in the end of the ends, lower running costs can be offset by a higher market price for the engine itself. And in conclusion, the diesel could be for you, but your decision can relay in different points, we tried to discuss above.
