In Europe. Diesel is about 10c a litre cheaper than petrol(euro cents)
Most small cars, and larger cars all seem to be diesel.
They all seem to get good fuel economy and seam to last.
I had a work car, diesel, that was given to me with314,000kn on it, I gave it back to the company with over 360,000km on it. Used about 5l/100km, when flogging it, it used about 5.8l/100km.
Never went to the garage in all the time ivhad it and the tight ass company I worked for probably never sent it there much before I had it.
I flogged it hard and abused it, and it still kept going. Was passed onto the next new employer after I left. The only thing it needed was 4 new tyres.
Just my observations, but majority of care in Europe all seem to be diesel, and its cheaper to buy.
Majority of cars in USare petrol, and thats cheaper to buy
don't know if its any equation, but you'd think it would be uniform globally, at least for things like car longevity.
seems now, here at least off buying a new car, you'd buy a petrol.
I drive two petroleum, but wish I had a diesel, that only because they are old and I get around ยน5-18l-100km, and because from Europe diesel's i cheaper to buy. both from caryard and bowser, in Australia, guess if new car, it would be petrol, if older car it would be diesel.
