If you’re considering buying a new vehicle, you have plenty of options. Factoring in the number of manufacturers, models, trim levels, and option packages, it can seem like there’s almost too many choices to make. Now, most people have an idea what they want. Perhaps a pickup truck, SUV, or a sedan. 

Choosing a powertrain can be one of the most challenging decisions buyers make. Today, vehicles often have multiple powertrain options for each model. Do you choose a traditional gas engine, a turbocharged version, or perhaps you have a diesel engine available. Of all the engines, the diesel powertrain might be the least understood.

So, we’ve created this comparison between gas and diesel engines to help you understand the differences. We’ll show you the pros and cons of each to help you make an informed decision. Read the rest of this entry >>

The Relationship Between RPM and Torque

RPM and Torque are some of the most commonly used terminology in the automotive industry, though few know what the meaning of the two terms actually is and how they translate to an actual driving experience. RPM stands for revolutions per minute. The basic understanding of this is the calculation of any object revolving in a circular motion around its orbit. On the other hand, Torque is a form of measure that determines the amount of load of a vehicle at any given point of time. The torque varies in different vehicles depending on the RPM.

The RPM is a type of determining factor for any form of power in the vehicle output. The torque of every vehicle is calculated based on the RPM at any given point of time. This basically means that the Torque of a vehicle’s engine depends on the RPM, however the RPM of the vehicle’s engine is determined on the power output of the engine. The torque is considered as a primary factor for determining load bearing vehicles. Since diesel engines are generally large carrier vehicles, it is considered to be the defining factor or selling point of the manufacturer.

RPM, as a general power determining factor is commonplace to both diesel and gasoline engines. At any given point in time, every power measure and reading will always be read at the rate of the RPM of the vehicle’s engine. To know more, visit the New Jersey State Auto Auction.

Should you Get a Used Petrol or Diesel Car

If you do not plan to use your car for a lot of traveling, then it is recommended that you buy a used petrol car. If you plan to use your car frequently, if you think that you will drive over 10,000 miles a year, then go for a used diesel car. Do not go by the mpg statistics when buying a used car. The mpg statistics usually apply for new cars, as it is. When it comes to used cars, the fuel efficiency will be lower than the company specified ones for new ones. Used cars do not come cheap, however, the best thing about them is that they do not come with the biggest motoring cost, depreciation. Used diesel cars usually have a higher repair cost than that of a used petrol car. If the filters or the turbos or the dual-mass flywheel clutches or the injectors have to be repaired or replaced, it will cost you more if you have a diesel car.

If you are cost-conscious, and you do not plan to drive around a lot, then go for a used petrol car. Used petrol cars are comparatively cheaper to buy than used diesel cars. Diesel engines have come a long way in terms of refinement, and maintenance costs, however, there is still no comparison with that of a petrol engine. A diesel engine will have an increased torque level at a lower speed. This means active gearing. The clutch will be hard, and will wear faster. Another benefit of choosing a petrol car is that you can equip the car with an LPG or a CNG kit.
