Pay Attention: Diesel Cars

Did you know that you can buy a new diesel car? (Yes, they still make diesel cars) Did you also know that they are actually quieter at highway speeds than the average petrol (unleaded) fueled car? Diesel engines are much more efficient and clean than what the typical American thinks. There is a reason that 50% of all vehicles sold in Europe are diesel. A few facts that you may not know:

  • They typically have a lower RPM redline than petrol engines
  • They have gobs more torque for similarly sized petrol engines
  • They average 30% better fuel economy (mpg)
  • Diesel fuel costs less than premium unleaded
  • They have a much longer lifespan. That is why it is not uncommon for a commercial truck to have a million miles!

No spark plugs. If you want to know how that works, click here.

So why is it you aren’t considering a diesel?
