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.
nothing like that , but people which have low running go for petrol because , the price difference between them more than one lack . in the case of diesel engine it get good milage and efficiency at optimum temperature this can achieved only by good running.
Petrol price per liter is 0.122 Omani riyal for super and 0.166 Omani riyal for normal
About £1.35 for a litre of petrol, over £1.40 per litre of diesel.
The main advantage of a diesel van over a similar petrol one is that the fuel ecomony is better with a diesel van, and in some cases the suggested length of time between servicing is greater. However the increased fuel ecomony needs to be set off against the higher cost of purchasing diesel and in many cases the higher purchase price.
if the price if 1 ltr petrol is Rs 80, offer gift voucher worth Rs 80, free along with 1 ltr Petrol.
Gasoline is a necessary commodity, and the people who refine oil into gasoline and sell it set the price however high they want to. Because demand for fuel is so high, they can set a high price for both petrol and diesel because they know that people will pay for the necessary gasoline for their vehicles.
Depending on which part of the world you're from and what specific features you're looking for will give you a range of prices. The biggest difference (where I come from) is between diesel and petrol. With petrol our road user charges are part of the price at the pump. While as diesel you pay less at the pump but get taxed per mile half annually. Typically for a late 2000's Jeep Wrangler over here with an average set of features and petrol, you'd be looking at around $20,000-$25,000USD for a decent one. Hope this helps.
It depends on what your needs are: if you want to get better mileage get a diesel or hybrid petrol car - but they cost more to buy than regular cars that run on unleaded. Diesel usually has more power at low revs but much slower acceleration. Diesel smoke is not pleasant smelling and when diesel gets cold it becomes harder to burn. With new technologies - like variable geometry turbos - now even diesel cars have become more responsive to the throttle with reduced lag. Moreover diesel is cheaper than petrol in many countries. (In the UK diesel actually costs more per gallon than regular unleaded petrol.) If we consider heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses, to move the heavy load diesel is used because they need their energy produced as highest possible torque at low engine revs, not maximum road speed.
The price of fuels is highly dependent on taxes, which are controlled by politics. And politics change. In Europe, diesel is usually a little cheaper. In the United States diesel is usually a little bit higher.
The price varies depending on the day, where in England you are and what company you buy from but on the 19th May 2011, the average petrol price was 136.61p/l and the average diesel price was 140.94p/l.
Between $.16 and $.23 per gallon.
Any energy source that has a fixed price tag in market are commercial sources of energy like petrol, diesel. But non-commercial energy sources don't have a fixed price in market, the cost is local and varies e.g. firewood
