You pay more up front, or more at the pump. However, unless you drive a bunch of miles a year, you will likely never get the purchase price back in MPG and / or resale value.
HUH? No one asked about purchase price...etc...etc. And I wont be driving all that many miles each year so that the fuel consumption doesnt bother me...but the question AGAIN is....
The 460 Ford all that more powerful that the 3 liter Mercedes engine??
I Guess they arent installing the 460 engine they are using the V10 motor??)
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
All things being (close?) to equal, yes, it's like wrestling, as agile as the little guy is, the big always wins.
But as I was trying to say the first go round, and failed apparently, you can have a big coach with a 460, or a little coach with a small diesel. However, you end up in the same place, financially. You buy a smaller, lighter, more expensive diesel and save some on $$$, or you buy a bigger, heavier gasser for less $$$$.
Neither one is a Ferrari, neither one will fly up the mountain grade.
