Why do people want diesel? Even the modern cars are dirtier than gas.
I don't understand it either. Maybe they're people who drive 30k miles a year?
My partner's older brother commutes about 200 miles a day for work. He and 2 others carpool, and work construction. Makes really good money. Those not driving sleep.
And I had a co-worker 2 decades ago who did that as well. Same commute actually. He usually worked 4 10s though, so not quite as bad.
I used to commute 110 miles a day and the Diesel required one fill/week compared to my prior vehicle, a Taurus, which required a fill every other day. I worked long hours (occasionally 100 hours plus commute) and didn’t like spending time gassing up.
I’m not sure why the Diesel-gas price gap has increased to what it is today.
