Re: Diesel vs. gasoline for new car purchase

I'd probably be looking at a used Jetta or Passat TDI wagon. I haven't started down the used car pricing road yet, so I might be unrealistic about what I can expect to pay. It's not a crisis yet with the current car, but it could come to a head soon if things start breaking down. I don't like some of the noises I'm hearing from under the hood these days, and the consumption has really increased in the last few weeks.

My Jeep is diesel and I get better fuel consumption than the same model with any Gas engine (you can get a 3.7l and 5l Hemi for my year and model in gas).

Mine is a 3l Turbo diesel and anything that has went wring with it has been either electrical or just a common thing (glow plug).

My gas mileage is not great 12l/100km on average because the vehicle is in 4wd at all times (no 2wd option otherwise I would save more on gas).

I forgot to mention I have around 300k on the Jeep (6 years old) and the engine is running smooth
