• A lot of vehicles run on alternative fuel,
  like hybrids or electric cars, but an often
  overlooked fuel source is diesel. When youre
  choosing a car, you may face another daunting
  dilemma what kind of engine is best for you? In
  this blog post, were explaining the difference
  between gasoline and diesel engines to make your
  choice a little easier.

Whats the difference between gasoline and
diesel engines?

• The main difference between gasoline and diesel
  engines lies in how the motor works. In
  diesel-powered vehicles, the air-fuel mixture
  heats to high temperatures before being injected
  to the cylinders, and ignites there, solely
  because of heavy compression ratios. Spark plugs,
  on the other hand, are used for combustion in
  gasoline engines. Diesel cars are generally
  heavier because of their hardy construction and
  they can be slightly noisier than gas
  counterparts.

Why is diesel more efficient?

• Due to higher compression, diesel engines produce
  more torque. That means better acceleration and
  improved engine elasticity since higher torque is
  available at lower rpm. Consequently, there are
  plenty of pickups available with diesel engines
  the high torque at low rpm allows transporting
  and towing heavy loads with a decreased risk of
  damaging the vehicles clutch. A lot of modern
  diesel engines are fitted with turbos which
  provide instant power.

Mileage

• First, youll have to factor the average daily
  mileage youre going to cover. Gasoline cars
  usually have more powerful motors, but diesel
  engines provide higher efficiency on highways and
  long distances. Covering 622 miles on a single
  diesel tank is quite common. But if youre mostly
  going to be driving in the city, consider a gas
  car efficiency wont change much since the fuel
  consumption in the city is roughly the same for
  both engine types.

Pricing, Resale Value, and Maintenance

• Since diesel vehicles are by far more efficient,
  youll save big in the long run spending less on
  fuel. On the contrary, they are more expensive to
  maintain and manufacture than gasoline
  contenders. This explains the higher MSRP and
  resale value of diesel vehicles. In Europe,
  diesel cars are subjected to specific taxes which
  can raise overall ownership costs. 
• Gas prices vary from country to country, though
  theyre generally lower than diesel. In order to
  calculate your annual fuel costs, take into
  account fuel prices in your area.
• Maintaining gasoline engines is pretty
  straightforward and less expensive. Often, diesel
  engines require special technicians which may be
  more expensive than regular service for gas
  engines. Finding parts for both isnt that
  difficult, though parts for diesel cars can be
  costly.

The choice between gas and diesel isnt easy. To
make a balanced decision, always calculate how
much youre going to spend on a car and
its maintenance, how many miles youll cover, and
dont rely exclusively on either resale value or
fuel economy. You can find a lot of clean and
salvage title cars for sale on a budget
