What are the Cons? • Cost several thousand more • Batteries are 3-4,000$ to replace • Lacks Power and performance
What is a Diesel? • Does not have spark plugs • Usually Turbo Charged • Relies on heat and compression for combustion
What are the Pros? • Diesel Fuel has more “Potential Energy” • Diesel engines last 3-4 times longer • Burns much cleaner
What are the Cons? • Fuel costs 30-40 cents more • Requires more routine maintenance • Requires use of DEF (diesel exhaust fluid)
What is SEGV (super efficient gas vehicle)? • Regular gas engine • Weight and aerodynamics efficiency maximized • Computer closely monitors engine performance
What are the Pros? • Cost less • Easy to maintain • Uses unleaded gasoline
What are the Cons? • Very few auto makers make these cars • Gas engines don’t last as long • Medium power range
Conclusion • Diesel is the most efficient and longest lasting engine, it also has the most power • Fuel cost more and maintaining the vehicle is more expensive • Better for people that drive long distances • Diesel engines last longer
Conclusion • Hybrid Cars are the most fuel efficient option • Great people that drive short distances • Many automakers makes many different types • SUVs, trucks, and crossovers • Expensive batteries • Additional cost to purchase
