As long as there's a diesel version available, I don't even look at the gassers
Despite the injection pump timing in early diesels, that not every mechanic has the skill to tune properly (then leading to the smoke-belching issues), they're way easier to mantain. Also, comparing to a carburettor-fed gasoline-powered engine, it's cheaper to keep a diesel running and their longer-lasting overcome the higher cost for an engine overhaul.
Newer-generation CRDi's share those advantages with the older all-mechanicals, but its injection setup is not so hard to deal with as a gasoline EFI setup would be.
Okay, I must confess I'm really partial to diesels...

FC depends not only on maintenance but the design of a car. Try aking a 4m40 Pajero reach 10 kms/ltr at the city.
I'm partial to diesel as well but I won't generalize that every diesel can reach such frugality. Esp. old shool diesels. Let's keep this thread as close to reality.Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

My uncle's Chevrolet Blazer averages 9km/l in city traffic and 12km/l in highway, but it has an indirect-injection engine and is not so well-mantained at all. It's already belching a lot of smoke...

Up ko lang ang thread.
I prefer diesel engine. My 1996 L200 clocked at 339,000 km, never overhauled, never calibrated. It still runs fine. Just change oil, change oil filter, change air filter, and change fuel filter when the need arises. It can do 9-10 km/litre in city driving while 11-12 km/litre in highway driving. Not bad for an almost 17 year old truck.
While a gas engine requires ignition system tune-up and spark plugs needed to be replaced.

Old-school Diesels tend to tollerate better some operating abuses and environmental harshness. Newer ones, altough developing greater power levels while still retaining a better fuel-efficiency, have their sensibility to fuel quality issues but are still a better option than a gasser.

depende din po yan sa SIze ng engine, load, pati size ng tires and traffic.. sama mo na din driving habits....
mine 2.9 inline 5... kung fully loaded as mabigat na mabigat ang karga then floored mode pa... 6.2 - 6.6 kms. per liter...
kung walang laman naman city driving it can do 8kms. per liter in moderate city traffic....
highway driving loaded 7-10kms./liter naman....
pag kunti lang ang sakay as in 4-5 lang at tipid driving mode it can do 13kms./liter
yung ride ko can ave. between 6.2 up to 13kms. per liter po...
