You tend to selectively pick scenarios that don't suit diesel equation. Let's use your example - Adventra LS1 doing ,say 15000 km a year at 18 l/100 that is roughly (at $1.40) that comes to $3780 per year . Pretty sure that would be the single biggest cost of running that car. Diesel (turbo) engines are built stronger ( more expensive to build) last longer and are more efficient by design. They have narrow rev range but lots of torque down low. If you need a car (truck ) to work hard - diesel is way to go. For passenger light cars diesel can be seen more as a enjoyable , efficient , effortless drive - people choose them for their driving characteristics as much for their efficiency . |
