Petrol or Diesel?

i prefer Petrol engined cars because parts tend to be cheaper to repair and when your car runs out of fuel, you can fill it and start it normally unlike Diesel engines, you must at least have a quantity of fuel left to refill it again but if it runs out of fuel, you face troubles!

Petrol for the fun and speedy cars

Diesel.. Well.. ROLL COAL!

I like both. Diesel because it's actually a nice and efficient way of burning fuel, petrol because less complicated whizzbangery is needed for low emissions so it can be very clean.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Ugh, I'm so sick of owning and paying for cars and all the crap that goes along with having one.  Buy a bus pass, it's like having a limo driver who's a bit of a jerk.  But he'll let you read the linustechtip forums while they're busy chauffeuring you around.

Diesel is easier to drive with in a manual car. Petrol takes some time to get used to.

 

In short, if you let your clutch go slightly with a diesel, the car will drive slowly. A petrol car doesn't do that. It's easier for parking/learning to drive etc.

It is said, that civilised man seeks out good and intelligent company, so that through learned discourse he may rise above the savage and closer to God. Personally, however, I like to start the day with a total dickhead to remind me I'm best!

Petrol all the way. It's less polluting, has a greater power output and smells so much better. The only downside to petrol is the low end torque, but that can be dealt with to a degree in a petrol engine.

Desiel due to better power per litre and better economy. It may cost more per litre but you can go further on it than petrol.

agreed,  petrol cars stall easily when you slightly take your foot off the clutch that means diesel cars are easier to drive!
