How diesel engines stack up against gasoline engines

Have you pulled into a petrol station and wondered why diesel prices are lower than petrol prices? Here’s a quick comparison to help drive your understanding.

Both are internal combustion engines. Petrol engines are all about revving it up and delivering speed and racing power while diesel engines hone in on torque and deliver grunt. This is the kind of power that pushes your vehicle up a steep hill while hauling a truckload of goods.

From a fuel economy point of view, diesel engines reign supreme- some are as much as 40 per cent more efficient than petrol engines. Even with small diesel engines, you’ll have more range from a tank, which means fewer visits to the service station.

In the end, they are both different engines and it is up to personal preference. If you’re looking for diesel engines and engine parts for sale, have a browse through our local listings, which shows reviews and locations of providers near you.
