Many people have their personal preferences but what are the facts? Diesel and Gasoline have been rivals for a long time and lots of different opinions have floated around about what is better to get or in what situation it is best. From emissions to fuel economy, below will list some of things to consider when you are making the decision to switch the type of fuel you are using.
Gas Mileage
Not only does it bring fuel economy down but it also increases the price of the vehicle. In a new truck for example, it can cost around $10,000 to get the system. In countries like China and India, trying to stay competitive with cars can be difficult and keeping these kinds of technologies out of your car can greatly decrease the price for your product.
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The money
The smoke that comes from all of this is harmful to everyone in the city. One in 10 deaths in Ulaanbaatar can be traced back to air pollution in the city. Having these large amounts of air pollution this dense really has ill effects on everyone in the city.
Sumgayit, Azerbaijan: pollution from pesticides
Sumgayit in the world is known for having terrible pollution. During the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan was used to make tons of pesticides and chemicals. All of this production was good business but is now harming the citizens of Sumgayit.
The environment
The great pacific garbage patch
The biggest dump isn't believed to be on land anymore. It's actually believed to be in the ocean. Lots of litter eventually makes itself into the ocean. It can be dumped off on a river trip and eventually make its way to the ocean.
They won't start in winter. Also false. While it is true that diesel fuel does start to gel up in lower temperatures (starting around 40 degrees), modern technology takes care of that problem. Many vehicles are equipped with special tank heaters (aka glow plugs) or anti-gel solutions that can be mixed with the fuel. These methods, among others, help the fuel vaporize and run just fine in any temperature. Naturally, there are more myths out there that uninformed fanatics will cite, but these three take care of most of the general public's fears. Next time you purchase a car, don't pass by diesel so quickly!

About the Author:
At the time the California Air Resource Board's diesel emissions regulations first came out, Michael Schwartz, now President of FleetServ, started getting calls from panicked Fleet Managers looking for straight-forward information and compliance assistance. While FleetServ (formerly known as ACT Compliance) was originally formed to meet this need, over time it has evolved into much more.
