Diesel engines also have fuel economy that is better than gasoline engines by at least 25% to 30%. Their fuel economy is so good that even with increasing prices of diesel, diesel engines are more economical than gasoline. The reason for this is that, when it comes to fuel efficiency, diesel engines are the best. Diesel engines are also stronger and require less maintenance than gasoline powered engines. They also run for longer time, and maybe you do not even drive that much but the longevity and the dependability of the engine can earn you some extra cash when you will be selling the car. On the other hand, you cannot enjoy a high-speed drive with diesel. It is often said that a vehicle that has diesel powered engine is like a workhorse. No doubt it will be strong and enduring, but that also means that it will be slower. Whereas, a gasoline powered car is like racehorse, exciting, lively and faster. Diesel Engines might not need as much maintenance as gasoline powered engines do, but that does not mean that they need no maintenance at all. You still need to change their oil and filters regularly. Some diesel engines still have water separators that you need to empty yourself. If they are not provided regular maintenance, their fuel injection system can break down and since diesel engines are technologically more advanced than gasoline engines, their repairment cost can be highly expensive.

One of the biggest advantages of cars that run on gasoline-powered engine is that their maintenance cost is incredibly low.

Overall, we can say that in the longer run, gasoline cars are more economical to own than diesel cars. Furthermore, gasoline is also more commonly available than diesel. You can find a gas station no matter how remote the area. Diesel, on the other hand, is not easy to find. Gasoline cars are also lightweight and quitter than diesel cars. This means that they do not cause much noise or air pollution. Gasoline cars also show better acceleration and speed and hence better choice for longer travelling. If you are someone who enjoys driving at a high speed then gasoline cars are a better choice for you.
