Keep in mind the inherent superiority of Diesel over gas engines.
Gas engines only talk about horsepower because that all the can talk about. Horsepower determines top speed. So you can go 200kph! Where & when would you do this?
Diesels however produce goobs of TORQUE!
And torque determines acceleration!
So whatever speed you want to go or can go, Diesel will get you there first!
Plus, Diesel will get you way better fuel economy and way longer engine life (no gasoline to wash the cylinder walls bare with every stroke!)
What's the down side of Diesel? They cost more to make but less to operate over the long term.
Then why are most cars equiped with gas engines? It's cheaper!
