         If you wanted to own a new car powered by a diesel engine or if you own one now, you no doubt appreciate ýthe qualities this engine provides you with. More torque, better fuel economy, and easier maintenance are but ýa few of the attributes of owning diesel powered vehiclesþ. þ

    However, there are some motorists that still complain about the engine's weak power, especially when ýaccelerating from a full stop. What you may not be aware of is the fact that a dieselþ þengine can be tweaked to ýgive more power without harming the fuel economyþ. þ

    New diesel engines cars use air compression to create combustion versus the fuel/air mixture that is required ýby gas engines. This attribute means that diesel engines don't require spark plugsþ þand therefore don't need to ýbe tuned upþ.þ

    Diesel fuel has a much high fuel density than gas, which results in fuel economy increases of 20 - 30% over ýgasoline powered vehiclesþ.þ

    Diesel engines are also cheaper to maintain as they have less parts than that of a gasoline powered engine. ýThe life span of a diesel engine is also much longerþ.þ

    If you're looking for torque, for pulling aþ þboat or other equipment, then the dieselþ þengine has the supreme ýadvantage. Diesel engines are surely slower, especially when starting from a dead stop, although when you ýclimb hills or go over bridges, the diesel engine is surely up to the taskþ.þ

    With new trucks, diesel is normally the leader over gas engines in terms of performance and miles per gallon. ýDiesel trucks will getþ þmore miles than gas trucks, and the price for diesel is a bit cheaper than gas these daysþ.þý ýAnd with gas prices on the rise, diesel will continue to dominate for a long time to comeþ.þ
