Diesel vs Petrol motorcars. Pro's and cons?

처리 내용

As an everyday buyer you won't be interested in the high performance end of diesel or petrol, so here goes: Diesel engines typically rev lower and have more low speed torque - so you are less likely to stall off the line, for example. Petrol engines usually rev higher and get more power at 3-4 thousand revs Diesel seems to be getting more expensive - especially in the US. Diesel engines often run more efficiently - more miles per gallon (sometimes significantly more) Diesel engines are noisier, although manufacturers are improving all the time. In the UK you pay less emissions taxes on diesel engines, as the tax is heavily based on CO2, not particulates. So from a pure running cost perspective, diesel engines in cars are currently looking very good.
