Petrol has always been cheap in Malaysia due to subsidies, and now that some of that pricing structure is being revised, many are waking up to reality. As a commercial fuel, diesel has always been recognised as the star performer, simply because of heavy haulage requirements of lorries, trucks, vans etc and the need for fuel economy in order to keep costs down for the businesses running them.In other parts of the world where fuel efficiency and environmental concerns have been common goals, diesel engine development has kept pace and diesel has long been the fuel of choice even for domestic vehicles.My personal choice of a diesel powered vehicle was based on a little more than personal preference. In terms of what is available out there right now, nothing gives better value for money where performance and efficiency are concerned. It was and still is, the logical choice, for me anyways.</blockquote>
