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.

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.

How much is a jeep?

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.


Which is better car petrol or diesel?

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.
