Replying to: easym1 (Oct 28, 2007 4:11 pm) Simple, diesel engine saves fuel which is good for the environment.   But diesel also requires up to 25% more oil to produce and emits up to 17% more greenhouse gas than gasoline. (Gasoline or Diesel?)   Better for the environment? It may be a wash.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: easym1 (Oct 30, 2007 10:52 am)

Replying to: tidester (Oct 29, 2007 11:00 pm) With regards to the new diesel engines on cars and the amount of consumptions, it's more efficient. I guess I didn't realize that we need more oil to produce diesel fuel. I hope that advancement in technology addresses this issue. Thanks for the great information tidester.

Replying to: mdhutton (Oct 30, 2007 5:36 pm) well people, i also wish that there is a CX-9 with diesel engine, i disagree with the guy thta not believes a diesel engine is more efficient. Thermodynamically speaking it is more efficient, and it is for a very simple reason, the compresion rate is way much greater than in gasoline cars, so what does this mean? that they need less rpm, to produce the same energy, thats why a diesel engine has a better fuel economy, because the energy transferred to the crankshaft is greater, needing less rpm, therefore less fuel, adn with the new diesel upgrades, the diesel engine becomes a more effective option for great power, saving some chips and protecting the environment. peace Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 23, 2008 6:42 am)
