Lahat ba ng CRDI "pareha"?

TFR: accdg to Hyundai C5, SF's engine doesn't need that, they said it has this hydraulic auto calibration thingy.

I'm just not sure if that info is accurate.

The shift to CRDi is inevitable. a lot of energy is wasted from inefficient ancient diesel engines which, aside from anti-environment, is also noisy and smoky.

It's just like Typewriters vs Computers.

Typewriters are old but it works (printing) but quite slow and inefficient. Not really complex, just add some oil from time to time and it works even without electricity.

Computers can do more (printing), more manageable and flexible. It has its problems, virus, HDD crash, but these are petty compared to the benefits.

That's why everyone shifted to computers.

Nakapanood ako ng isang auto program sa Solar Sports. Forgot the title.

Me sinabi dun na a certain Hyundai diesel has beaten a Toyot Prius sa isang contest. D ko masyado narinig kung anong contest. FC cguro kasi ano ba naman ang ilalaban sa Prius.

Eto un dessert challenge na episode na Pajero pa rin ang winner, pero not the Dakkar.

I'm no expert of any engine technology, I just recently test drove a 2006 Innova D4D (2.5L) and a 2006 hyundai Accent CRDi (1.5L). Wala akong masabi, kudos to hyundai's CRDi, superior in every way.

That was a Hyundai Getz, in a London City fuel economy challenge. But you have to note: the Getz is a much smaller car than the Prius. London's slow gridlock is murder on a Prius, as it can't use brake regeneration and coasting to recharge as much as in free-flowing traffic.

A Prius can get up to 25 km/l in free-flowing rush hour traffic, but it's down to 15-19 km/l in gridlock, not much better than your typical subcompact diesel.
