If you thought a hybrid car was a good deal, think again. A hybrid diesel will get you better mileage than a traditional gasoline engine. Diesel engines and diesel gasoline gets better fuel economy and diesel engines last longer too. What can be better than that? Choosing a hybrid diesel vehicle will get you the ultimate fuel economy while saving you the most money.
The diesel engine has more toque, gets better fuel mileage (30%) better, and will last longer with less maintenance. It does cost more initially and diesel fuel is more costly but for some applications is a wise choice.
No one truck, no one answer. It will depend on the fuel mileage for the truck in question.
i dont know about 2003 but my 12 valve 1998 gets 22 to 24 on highway no mods except to air filter box to let it breathe better
my 79' gets 24-28 MPG but I am pretty sure that the last owner didn't time it properly
Lower ratio gets better mileage; 430 is better.
There is no better. Each has plus and minus. Diesel has more torque (pulling power), will last longer, gets better mileage, but cost more to buy and maintain. Diesel fuel is also more costly. Petrol is cheaper to build, costs less to maintain, normally has more horsepower, and gasoline is cheaper than diesel. The decision on which to buy is much easier to make today due to how clean diesel engines are now.patrol cars are better than diesel ones if the use is very less.
The H3 gets the best fuel mileage. Everything but the body is a Chevy Trailblazer.
it gets hot, and ignites the diesel fuel that is injected by the fuel injectors.
Considering that a diesel pickup truck can't use gas I would say that there aren't any diesel trucks that get good gas mileage. If you were wondering which diesel truck gets the highest miles per gallon then I would say you should look at the Dodge Cummins diesel.
my 2003 7.3l is getting 26 on the hiway and about 18 in town. Pulling a 32 foot camper trailer it gets 16mpg
One gallon of diesel fuel is equal to 139,200 BTU. The man who invented the compression-ignition engine was Rudolf Diesel. This is where diesel fuel gets its name.
