Depends on how soon you spotted youir mistake. If you didn't start the car it's just a question of draining the tank and you're OK - maybe 200 USD.
If you ran it until it stalled you're looking at more, perhaps the double. Fuel system has to be drained and flushed, filters to replace, maybe spark plugs, etc.
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.
diesel is usually more expensive but diesel cars usually have more mpg than petrol cars
Diesel engines are more efficient and do use less fuel, but they do not cost less than a petrol engine, they cost more. Diesel fuel also costs more. A diesel engine will however last longer.
cost of refining the crude oil ofcourse... In the UK diesel is more expensive than normal unleaded petrol.
No, diesel engines cost more to build than petrol engines. They are built much heavier.
Diesel AKA Petrol costs about $3.60 for the gallon in todays economy.
It depends if you are using diesel or petrol. Diesel is more expensive so it would cost more.
opportunism. Diesel is a by product of petrol and the cost of diesel is in fact lower than petrol> the reason it is higher is that the government allows price fixing to line its own pockets and the oil companies know it has to be paid for business to go on. Diesel should in fact cost less as it did before the oil companies started to "influence" the Government.
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)
Petrol 4 cylinder, about £250. Diesel 4 cylinder, about £350./ Petrol V6, about £450. Diesel V6, about £600. All Very "Approximate".
If your talking petroleum and diesel then Petrol averages 1.38 per liter Diesel averages 1.41 per liter
$500 for clutch $450-$500 to repair kaH!
