avanza vs vios

[niky]

I think AG4 or someone else mentioned it in another thread, and, yup, mga taxi companies nga...

Diesel nga lang talaga ang medyo good choice for fuel efficient seven seaters... but the next cheapest decent seven seater in diesel trim is around 800k or so (Innova) or 700k or so (Adventure/ Crosswind). To recoup their difference over the gasoline Suzuki, you'd have to do about 50,000 - 100,000 kms of city driving (at 9 km/l city vs 7 km/l for the Suzuki in heavy traffic... the diesels only do 10 km/l-12 km/l in light traffic conditions) to make up the price difference. That's about five years or more of driving to recoup the diesel investment...

Of course, if you install an LPG system on the Suzuki, the difference will be negligible... at about 22 centavos per kilometer, or, if LPG consumption is around 6.5 km/l or higher, it will be cheaper than diesel...
