So you want to help the environment and decided to purchase a Diesel-powered vehicle. No Thanks, go back to the cave you came from please.
C’mon people – wake up! It’s not just about the cost at the pump!
Oh, and just in case you really have been asleep for the last 2 decades – it’s the year 2009. The gasoline engines built today are much better in fuel mileage and horsepower – some argue they’re better than the older diesel counterparts.
Go educate yourself. If you drive a truck or need to haul big loads, maybe diesel is the right thing for you. Do some research and know before you blow your money.
One good starting point might be here:
To boost sales, diesels have to overcome. You’ll pay more for a diesel model than its gasoline-engine sibling, mostly because of the complex antipollution hardware and limited sales in the U.S. The premium ranges from $1,500 on Mercedes-Benz’s M-Class and R-Class diesels to $4,000 on the Audi Q7 TDI. The seven-seat Mercedes GL320 BlueTEC is a rarity – it’s $1,000 cheaper than the gas-engine model..
