Darky8888 4th Gear August 20, 2013 Share August 20, 2013 Hi, Would like to know how many will consider buying a EuroIV diesel car instead of the normal petrol car? The first consideration is of coz diesel car gives better mileage and maybe cheaper daily running cost. While car uses petrol is kind of rather standard on the cost of daily running. Your comments and thoughts plzzzzz... ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolaba 1st Gear August 20, 2013 Share August 20, 2013 The current max. allowable sulphur content in Singapore and Malaysia petrol is 500ppm (Euro 2 standard). The use of Euro 2 petrol on petrol engines meeting Euro 4 and Euro 5 standards is sub-optimal. 1Inspect the tail pipes of such cars featuring direct ignition technology (e.g. Mercedes' CGI, VW's TSI), it is not difficult to spot black soot accumulated at the periphery of the tail pipe. The culprit: the by-product arising from the combustion of fuels with sulphur content above 50ppm (Euro 4 standard). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatupz 1st Gear August 20, 2013 Share August 20, 2013 In Europe, 90% cars are diesel. I think travel up to KL and back to SG is enough for diesel. One of my friend clocked 1100km for his BMW 520d. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeriousGuy 2nd Gear August 20, 2013 Share August 20, 2013 (edited) Petrol is a better choice if you want performance Diesel is a better choice if you want good fuel consumption but to be honest i think i still choose petrol Edited August 20, 2013 by SeriousGuy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexxor 1st Gear August 20, 2013 Share August 20, 2013 I just got a diesel car. Honestly the fuel is damm cheap after all discount compared to petrol If u drive at least 9000km per year the extra tax already covered by the fuel savings Considering the fact that diesel are cleaner, with extra CEVS rebate, its a good buy for me (mine 10k cheaper than petrol version) got at S60 D2 at $146k 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, diesel is about 40-50 cents cheaper compared to RON95 petrol, so yeah, there's savings to be had. Thus far, likes the higher torques that my diesel car gives me (more omph at high revs) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear August 25, 2013 Share August 25, 2013 Yes, for those who had opt for CNG vehicles are now basically in a fix , even taxi companies are opting out. One operator of a CNG refuelling station is thinking of giving up the operation and use the exisiting land for more productivity business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banz86 5th Gear August 25, 2013 Share August 25, 2013 Actually, for sg roads, I think diesel will be better.. Good torque at the traffic lights.. Hard to win a sonata at one.. But of cuz the diesel tax is quite high now.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic August 25, 2013 Share August 25, 2013 In Singapore, driving a diesel car is the best! The torque is best suited here. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
