Ok, I was sure this must have been discussed at some point and so I searched for a thread on it. If there is one already, I couldn't find it. If there is one that I missed could someone please direct me to it so this thread can be ignored or deleted.
I'm simply interested in the views people have on diesel & petrol engines. I'm not a mechanically minded person but I am interested in the reasoning behind people's choice to buy a vehicle with either a diesel or a petrol engine.
-Why do we even have these two different forms of fuel?
-What's the difference between the two?
-How do each of them affect vehicle performance & longevity?
-Why would you choose one over the other?
These are just a few questions on the subject that I'd really be interested in seeing discussed.
