Anu ba mas maganda na car engine LPG vs Diesel!

for real world/performance driving, even the small displacement diesels have ridiculous amounts of torque. diesel it is for me. also the factory warranty/OEM install is good for the people who want peace of mind....

too bad diesel is even more expensive than premium fuel in the US :seeth:

Yan ang di ko makuha, why is diesel more expensive there?

its because:

a. taxes of diesel sa States is higher. I think taxes ng gas is around 19 cents/gal and diesel is around 25 cents/gal.
b. demand for diesel is higher. it is also used for heating, for manufacturing, etc.

mas lalo dito noh.. maliit man tignan, pero sa dami ng red tape lumolobo ang price.. --kada daanan ng papel mo sa gov't, para askasuhin, kailangan ka bigay mostly sa mga pipirma...

depende yan sa ROI. kung mababawi mo agad yun cost ng LPG kit from the difference in price ng fuel eh di mag LPG ka. kung di mo mababawi in 1 to 3 years,di na bale...tandaan ninyo...BOBO at mga G*GO sabihin na natin na GAHAMAN ang govt natin,kaya tataas din ang price ng LPG pag tumaas ang gas. negated pa din. imbes na bigyan ng magandang incentives for using alternative fuel,wala! our beloved nation is being ran by pigs...

Bro do you drive a diesel already? It sucks how diesel is indeed much higher than premium even here in California. I wish the US market imported a lot of smaller, more fuel efficient diesels. The hybrids are fine as they are it's just the ridiculous mark up of diesel over gasoline. Imagine if somebody made a diesel hybrid.

Mercedes-Benz has developed (or still is developing) a variable-compression engine that runs on gasoline but works on the principle of compress-ignition instead of spark ignition.
