When you think of the word “diesel” the first thing that comes to mind is likely large tanker truck or industrial equipment. But, what might be surprising is that a personal diesel vehicle might actually save you money and be better for the environment. In fact, diesel vehicles have been proven to outperform petrol cars in most driving scenarios. Even though it might appear you are paying more for diesel at the pump, the long-term payoff outweighs the cost per litre when compared to petrol.
