"Auto selection" saving factor
Petrol or diesel?
Which car is best suited to you and your purse? In addition to varying fuel prices, you should also take the purchase and your annual mileage into account.
Important: You also buy consequential costs
Before you buy a new car, you should thoroughly weigh up the pros and cons. A diesel is often more expensive than a petrol model. But it is tempting in terms of lower consumption and cheaper fuel prices.
On the other hand, with a petrol model, there are often benefits with regard to insurance and longer service intervals. Some diesels also need to be retrofitted with a soot filter before driving in envrironmental zones.
In general, it can be said that one third of the diesel vehicles available on today's market pay off with mileage in excess of 10,000 to 15,000 km per year. It is worth comparing diesels.
