[giri1.8]

Had petrol in the past and switched to swift diesel, cost difference might not be much for my usage, but peace of mind of not having to worry every time I put my foot down is priceless! For someone who doesn't have steady monthly income(budding entrepreneurs) price difference makes a huge difference while filling the tank, to be frank I could see myself choosing diesel over petrol as I look even few segments above, reason? real-time fuel efficiency difference is huge!(1.8 petrol vs 2.0 diesels).

This is really an informative post as cleared a lot of confusion in my head. By using the calculator i can see my head turning towards a petrol which i never thought of.
Thank You for this post

This calculator is indeed an excellent tool however it doesn't account for one key factor. The fun of driving a diesel, the torque punch.

So, if you are looking for fun, do try your hands at diesel, atleast test drive.

I had driven a petrol car for years and was really happy with its performance. But half a year back I switched to a diesel horse and fun factor is multiplied.

Now, I am cursing the powers to be, for sounding death knell for the diesels. But then I am praying for the bigger turbo petrols.

Agreed! Both of my cars have been Diesel and didnt think twice before buying However I also long for refined and silent drives maybe that is why I loved Honda (Dolphin) city. For the power/fun requirements I have the Monster (Read XUV-500).
