Diesel v. Gas Michael Herrera
Diesel Pro’s Diesel engines have a longevity that surpasses gasoline engines The fuel type contains 23x10^6 joules per gallon More power so many rescue vehicle’s and even marine vehicles are powered by diesel High horsepower at low rpm’s Low number of engine problems
Diesel Con’s Base price can be up to 30% more Limited range of models If maintenance isn’t taken care of you can have a prematurely dead engine rather than a prematurely aged in a gasoline
Gasoline Pro’s Cheap (well not really) fuel cost Very wide range of models High horsepower at high rpm’s for track vehicles Quick acceleration Easy accessibility to engine parts
Gasoline Con’s Prone to breaking down and engine wear Low energy from fuel, which in turn increases fuel consumption Weak body frame: no good for hauling freight
