I'm an analyst in need...Which is overall more cost efficient for a consumer,...
...diesel or gas? I will be communting over 35 miles this summer and I live in FL where the gas prices are skyrocketing. I plan to buy a smaller car to help ease the gas price increases, but which one is going to save me money overall...diesel or gas? I know deisel is more expansive but it is more fuel efficient and less costs on maintance. It is very smelly and noisy. Gas is cheaper then diesel but you dont worry about the smell or noise. In the same token, is increasing in costs by the day.
My father, who is a car salesmen, recommends I wait for the 2008/2009 diesel WV Jetter. I'm hearing good things about the 2008 Smart Fortwo as well.
Does anyone know of any recent study conducted to see which one is overall more cost effective for the consumer?
I am not looking for anything flashy, just a good communter car. Sugestions?
