BluePanda Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 As much as diesel cost now days I aint real sure why most people buy them. All depends on the MPG. Lots of small diesel cars get relatively high MPG which can easily offset the higher cost at the station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjloki Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 ...pfft,...my tractor holds 250 gallons and i usually fuel around 150 galls per day average, ...at $4.10 per g, (plus 25 gallons def gets me about 4-5000 miles), and with a full load (75,000+pounds) i get about 6 - 6.5 mpg....you all do the math, ...it takes a whole helluvalotta fuel to get your food clothing and goods to market...and the price keeps going up because the oil companies keep gouging and gouging,...they know they have the entire world by the gonads...

cjloki Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 know you're right p, my point is diesel is becoming prohibitively expensive, and an untenable commodity, for all but the rich and those who just don't care about saving money...it used to be a value not so long ago, but nowdays, not so much...

Boinker Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 As a mercedes Mechanic THIS IS HALLARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant remember how many times we have loaned a Customer a Diesel GL320 and they put a full tank of unleaded in it... Came back on the Drive and the vehicle sounded like A 1920's Diesel and had less power.... lol. Incase someone does not know. Def or Diesel exhaust fluid is injected into the exhaust to Lower the emissions out of the exhaust. significant reduction of NOX which is Awesome and reduction of HC or Hydro Carbons.

How big is the "tank" of def? How often do you fill it? As a mercedes Mechanic THIS IS HALLARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Def or Diesel exhaust fluid is injected into the exhaust to Lower the emissions out of the exhaust. significant reduction of NOX which is Awesome and reduction of HC or Hydro Carbons. So basically it's the cheat code to lower emissions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
