Overheard a staff member in Repco tell a customer over the phone that driving a diesel isn't required in this country. I laughed and the guy serving me agreed with him. I told them they have no clue. Pair of 20 year olds

But if you want to take it to the extreme we don't really require oxygen either, unless of course you want to live

What you won't find is a broken down petrol because the fuel was just slightly dirty, nor a blown petrol engine due to injector seals failing.glen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90

I wasn't saying you should only drive a diesel Glen. Nothing wrong with a petrol, especially with the points you listed 😉
I just think he should not be giving out such advice to customers. Saying it's not required is a bit different to saying a petrol is just as good or better.

Then there are diesels like my hilux that I sold with 585,000 on the clock and it's still going strong............
You can mount an argument for either if you select only certain facts, truth is there is a place for both!
Funny how almost every station vehicle in the country is a Diesel, guess those guys aren't as smart as some city slickers who have worked out Diesels aren't needed.

As for station vehicles, I doubt it has anything to do with the intelligence of station owners and "city slickers" as you so elegantly put it. There's such a vast difference between the driving needs of these people, that really, any intelligent person wouldn't be trying to compare them in the first case. Just to give you a little bit of a hint though - not many of us in the city have to worry about keeping heavy farming machinery running.glen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90
