@jxaxrxlx 4 года назад

Loved the video great discussion 👍🏻 Some things you might want to consider 1. Per gallon diesel produces more energy than gas 2. Diesel combustion is more efficient adding to higher fuel efficiency and lower CO2 3. diesel fuel is denser than petrol and contains about 15% more energy by volume (roughly 36.9 MJ/litre compared to 33.7 MJ/litre) 4. Accounting for the difference in energy density, the overall efficiency of the diesel engine is still some 20% greater than the petrol engine, despite the diesel engine also being heavier. 5. A fuel consumption of 1 litre per 100km corresponds to approximately 26.5g CO2/km for diesel and 23g CO2/km for petrol, depending on the exact composition of the fuel. To say Petrol pollutes less is an over simplification. When you Americans drive your big F truck around with large displacement V8’s you are throwing the baby out with the bath water.🤦🏼

saying diesel pollutes less just because it gives off less co2 is an extreme oversimplification as well because it gives off larger amounts of other air pollutants. this shows just how deep the conversation goes and how there's so many moving parts to a conversation about emissions. definitely not something that can be argued in the format of youtube comments.

I did a Cummins 4bt swap on my '89 full size bronco. When I had the 351 in it was lucky to reach 9 mpg, but with the 4bt I'm averaging between 21 and 22 mpg. While diesel may be about 25 cents a gallon more per gallon, over doubling my fuel mileage has more than made up for it. To top it off, with a 33 gallon tank it's nice to have to only fill up every 600 miles or so, or once every 3-4 weeks.

@drivedb7 4 года назад

Enrique Ortiz - You have a point, but you’ve also forgotten that there were some Oldsmobile and Pontiac vehicles that GM tried to separate from the herd. Cars like the Aurora and Intrigue were meant to help revive Oldsmobile and they didn’t share as much with other GM products. The Pontiac G8 was nothing like any other GM offering in America at the time. Engines like the Quad 4 and “Shortstar” V6 were originally exclusive to Oldsmobile. All proved to be either underwhelming or too little too late for each division, but what’s more irreplaceable are the pairs’ history and place in American culture. Buicks on the other hand have almost always been seen as grandpa cars and the Chinese market is the only reason they’re still around. I for one could live without Buick.

1Man Army Nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’m Possible”. The thought of “if you can’t maintain it, you can’t afford it” is subjective. For all the German car lovers, paying a mechanic for all your basic maintenance would be astronomical for the average person. For example, an oil change on most Porsche’s are about $495 depending in where you live. Doing it yourself is about $70 with good premium oil and you learn how to do it.

@Martin Svensson Define "crap". Diesels put out more fine particulates than gasoline, but those particulates wash out of the air very quickly. Meanwhile, gasoline engines put out MUCH more carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which stays in the air for centuries. It is one of the reasons for climate change. Particulates, on the other hand, actually help mitigate any greenhouse effects by creating a light barrier, or albido effect, which keeps heat away from the Earth, but, like I said, it washes out of the atmosphere very quickly. So, what giutarsrockforever is saying, Diesel exhaust isn't bad for the environment (can be good for it), but sucks to breath in; gasoline exhaust dissipates quickly enough when not confined, but really screws over the environment for the long haul.

@dyovchev 2 года назад

Scotty I love you man but you're wrong regarding the fuel consumption. Keep in mind that x5 is more than 2200kg in weight and the equivalent gasoline engine hogs 30% more fuel... Given the price of Diesel is almost the same as gasoline you can do the calculations. Plus diesel engines are not really made to be driven in cities but rather highways where the case of noise turns around because you have 1500-2000 rpm for the diesel vs 2500-3000 for the gasoline engine. Btw I also kinda hate diesels due to high maintainance costs but they're crazy reliable and have much more life than a gasoline engine IF you maintain them properly.
