They are generally more expensive because of the extra durability needed in the engines due to the higher compression of diesel engines. They also often have superchargers that gas engine do not normally have.Ê
diesel is usually more expensive but diesel cars usually have more mpg than petrol cars
Diesel cars do tend to cost more in general than gasoline engine cars. The claim on this is that it is more expensive to create and manufacture these vehicles, and due the fact that diesel vehicles are more fuel efficient.
diesel is now a lot more expensive because there are more and more diesel cars so they can now make even more money just by raising the cost of the diesel
diesel is more 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?
No. Diesel cars are pollutive and the price of diesel is very expensive. many people do not like diesels at all because of the cost of fuel and the noise the car will make.
because petrol is easer to burn than diesel
Because of a diesel engines high compression ratio, it will always be more efficient than an equivalent gasoline engine. However, this higher compression ratio requires a heavier, more expensive engine which isn't able to reach as high an RPM as a gasoline engine. It is for these reasons that despite their higher efficiencies, diesel engines are less popular than their lighter, less expensive gasoline equivalents. Diesel cars will provide you with a higher MPG rating compared to a similar gasoline powered engine. The price for diesel fuel is generally higher than the cost of unleaded gasoline.
The diesel is more efficient but more expensive to build.
Foreign cars become more expensive.
Yes cars in the 1950s were more expensive than people could aford!
yes they do but there cars are more expensive (EDIT: "BUT THERE CARS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE" IS NOT CORRECT, THE TATA NANO IS THE CHEAPEST CAR IN THE WORLD, AND IT IS MADE IN INDIA)
