I know this subject has been done to death and yes i have "read all the previous posts" done my research on facts & figures etc etc, but my question as a potential new prado buyer is, What are the pro's n cons of D4D's V petrol? In Adelaide i have been observing fuel prices for the last few months and it seems Unleaded is consistently 5c - $ 0.14c per litre cheaper, always. maybe out in Oonawoopwoop it may vary, and i get the driving conditions will affect fuel consumpion
Seems to me that driving a diesel in suburbia would have negligible savings, if any- L/kms. - 3kms per litre saving with diesel V $0.10c or more per litre
I understand the pros for diesel - outback fuel issues, more torque ,reliability, longevity, environmental etc, etc and previously i was set on a D4D, but now im not sure the fuel & economy figures add up.
80 - 90% of my time would be driving back n forth to work, rest would be Outback S.A. N.T and the more i read the more i am swinging from diesel back to ULP. Has anybody else experienced this conundrum or wished they went from 1 powerplant to the other or had any regrets?
I like the power of the 4l, but also dig the "read about" reliability n guts of D4D.
Sorry for banging on about his again but just trying to make a informed and good decision based on more experienced and previous / current owners who know 100% more ( i know Zip ) about Prados and issues than me
