Are Diesels Too Expensive?

That really is a great question and we can totally understand why someone might think that diesel vehicles are a little bit pricey, but let us explain.

Initially, yes, diesels are going to cost more to purchase than comparable gasoline models, but if you drive one for a while, you'll start to see some serious savings in the form of fewer visits to the gas station. Did you know you can drive over 800 miles on one tank of gas in the new Audi A8 L TDI? 

Now lets do some simple math. Say you used to put $30 in your gas tank once a week, but now you only need to put $30 in your gas tank once a month. Your gasoline expenses will drop from approximately $1,560 per year, down to $360 per year. Now of course we understand that one could poke many holes in that arguement, with the first "hole" being the difference in price between gas and diesel. But at the end of the day, the bottom line is that an Audi TDI diesel engine is going to save you some serious cashola.

And did we mention that diesels typically have a much higher resale value than regular gasoline cars?
