[QUOTE="Prot, post: 715653, member: 43265"] if one cannot stand the smell of 320d diesel smell. wait till you smell the B10 and above smell. I was in the US recently, and a dude was pumping B20 into his truck. (i know, what are the odds right?) his exhaust fumes smelt like rotten eggs.. anyways, Malaysia's diesel is Euro 2 and the world is moving towards Euro 6. Dirty diesel in Malaysia actually clogs your oil filter quicker which means that your maintenance IS higher. Also, long term (of mainly town use, which equates to severe usage) your cat and your exhaust system will need replacing. high-mileage users can delay the effects, but until we get cleaner diesels, the maintenance costs WILL almost always be higher than its petrol sibling. Merc has a 4 year warranty on petrol and they are not willing to offer 4 years warranty for their diesels. another note. Yes, CO2 of diesel per litre is lower than petrol but the "other bad stuff" isnt measured accordingly.
