A.)
Using hypothetical numbers
Diesel
Cost of fuel (e.g. $4.49/gal) = $0.13 per mile
miles per gallon (e.g. 33mpg)
Premium Gasoline
Cost of fuel (e.g. $3.99/gal) = $0.17 per mile
miles per gallon (e.g. 23mpg)
For 15,000 mile diesel fuel cost = $0.13 X 15,000 = $2,040
For 15,000 mile gasoline fuel cost = $0.17 X 15,000 = $2,608
Over a span of 3 years the resulting saving is around
$1,800 and if diesel prices come down, the savings will
only increase. In addition the diesel driver enjoys the
convenience of having to fill-up less often as well as the
environmental peace-of-mind in knowing that the diesel
emits around 20% less CO2 than a comparable gasoline
so basically no.. acording to the document...
F ITTT!!!! 4.8i gas all the way!!!
