this!!i singed it, but i will sign anything that helps restore freedom.
Diesels don't even require that much to maintain. at least my dads 04 doesn't. only used 2 sets of tires since new, oil changes at 7500, U-Joints a few times, general maintenance ...etc. and it's a dodge.
he hasn't done anything major to it yet and it has 173k on it.
Freedom? How about the freedom to put something on the market based on how much money and demand there is for the product.i singed it, but i will sign anything that helps restore freedom.
i know, the US is one of the only countries in the world where diesel is MORE expensive then gas! diesel is cheaper to make AND more efficient than gas! and you can use the "bio diesel" in the same engines with little modification i think. but the EPA feels they have to throw their weight around and enact strict emissions laws so they can take your tax money is what it is! THEM BUNCH'O HIPPIE LIBERAL TREE HUGGERS!Freedom? How about the freedom to put something on the market based on how much money and demand there is for the product.
The EPA killed any chance of them going into widespread use...
Few vehicles will go for that long anyway.Diesels are more practical as far as im concerned, guy down the street from me says he has a ford diesel with 500k on it ( mechanic maintained) not saying i trust him but i have no reason not to believe him
Gas takes less engine oil, fairly cheap fuel pumps, a good fuel filter only costs double digits and it only takes one, cheaper air filter and oil filter....I keep reading "until it breaks" but how often does a diesel break compared to a gas engine? I know the injection pumps are expensive but after that its about the same price. I would take diesel over gas in any vehicle, over all it makes more sense.
