cost of refining the crude oil ofcourse...
In the UK diesel is more expensive than normal unleaded petrol.
In the United States diesel is not cheaper than petrol or gasoline, it is higher.
The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.
Cheaper to built and therefore cheaper for the consumer to buy than a diesel. Fuel costs less than diesel.
first of all its engine. ADVANTAGES - petrol is cheaper than diesel so cheaper to run. petrol cars generally cost less than diesel (a few 1000). petrol engines are usually faster than diesel off the line and have a higher top speed than a diesel car with the same sized engine. DISADVANTAGES - petrol is less economical than diesel and also diesel cars are much better for over taking than petrol as it has more torque (pulling power)
Well with the high prices today, it's cheaper to buy gas because it's cheaper than diesel. Diesel is most expensive.
Diesel cars are less expensive but maintenence costs are higher than most petrol vehicles. So theres somewhat of a balance since gas powered cars are cheaper to maintain than a diesel... odd huh?
They each have their pros and cons. The Diesel will last longer, use less fuel, and has more pulling power or torque. The petrol is cheaper to build, fuel cost less, and is cheaper to repair.
No, diesel is heavier.
Petrol is and bit more vicous and that diesel is a lot darker than petrol. Petrol burns quicker when set alight, however diesel burns more brightly!
Depends on the car, if a car has petrol and diesel version than yes
because petrol is easer to burn than diesel
It Depends, if you are a long distance driver then go for a diesel as it is very economical. But if you are looking for something fast and don't drive long distances then go for a petrol car. I prefer diesel cars as they are cheaper to run, powerful, economical and cheaper to tax.
