Why Choose Diesel?

There are countless reasons that choosing a diesel car is an excellent idea. For one, diesel-powered vehicles tend to get better fuel economy than comparable gasoline engines, and even gasoline-electric hybrids. In fact, diesel powertrains achieve 25 to 35 percent better mileage since diesel fuel is more energy-rich than gasoline.

Another perk is that diesel engines don’t have spark plugs or distributors, and therefore don’t need ignition maintenance. Plus, they typically go much longer than gas-driven engines before needing major repairs, largely because they’re built to withstand higher compression.

Rounding out the list of diesel engines’ advantages is t they produce more torque than their gasoline counterparts, in turn making them faster. All of this comes together to make Chevrolet diesel cars, in particular, outstandingly attractive options.
