PURCHASE A DIESEL SUV INSTEAD OF PETROL


SUV\'s are getting to be a favourite among car buyers nowadays. Whether it is
because of the equation of speed and power with size, more and more SUV\'s are
dashing past our beloved highways. Sure, they\'ve got excellent traction and
performance, and they really are family-oriented. But unfortunately so, most of the
SUV\'s on the road today run on petrol.

Gas or petrol is one of the biggest culprit in air pollution. Ironically enough,
for something that destroys the environment, the price of petrol is perpetually on a
steady increase.

Over the past four years, Australia\'s petrol prices have increased by 63%. If this
trend persists, motorists will soon be looking at as much as $1.47 a litre.

Not only this, but our dependence/addiction on petrol is conversely making us
dependent as well on foreign oil monopolies and their policies. Thus, the answer is
to explore alternative fuels which are far safer for the planet, as well as for our
pockets and freedom. And yes, we should also start with our choice of SUVs.

Obviously the answer is in favour of SUVs which run on diesel. For starters,
conventional petrol engines aren't designed to manage the excessive weight of SUVs.
And we all know SUV\'s keep getting larger every year. Diesel engines, on the other
hand, provide the necessary power, but with greater fuel economy, and at the same
time, much cleaner fuel burning.

Diesel SUVs have more power precisely because diesel fuel itself has more energy
than petrol. In addition to better mileage, diesel SUVs have more pulling power
than their petrol counterparts, which is why they are popular for hauling camping
gear, towing boats, caravans, and horse trailers.

But why hasn\'t diesel captured the hearts of the Australian driving population.
Lack of informed choices on alternative fuels, lack of government funding for the
development of these choices, the general public\'s misconceptions about diesel
engines.

Not to worry though because car manufacturers nowadays are researching and refining
the technology of diesel engines ever more dedicatedly. Reinstalling diesel engines
in SUVs and other cars might make them more expensive. In the long run though, fuel
economy and engine durability, and needless to say, environment-friendliness, are
the priceless benefits we get for diesel SUVs.

Petrol prices are indeed seriously harming the budgets of most Australian
households. The average household uses 43 litres of petrol a week and steep petrol
prices mean reduced purchase power in other basic necessities.

If you are considering buying an SUV, you know what you have to do.
