Just wondering :) I'm starting my driving lessons tomorrow, and i'll be driving a nissan note. (i think)How does driving a diesel car compare to driving a petrol car?
It's about the same these days. Technology has caught up and diesel motors perform more like a gas engine these days. In the old days, a diesel did not accelerate as fast as a gas engine. The other difference is that when you let off the foot feed of a gas engine, the engine acts as a brake to slow down the car somewhat. A diesel motor doesn't do that. That's why big trucks have Jake brakes.
It's actually just as easy to stall a modern high pressure turbo Diseasel as it is a petrol engine nowadays, they no longer have that huge wodge of torque at idle speed that they used to.
You'll get used to it, but compared to a good petrol engine they're awful. (Go on Diesel fanboys, let's have all the thumbs-down.....)
I hate Diseasels in cars.How does driving a diesel car compare to driving a petrol car?
You will have much more torque at low rpm, but you wont be able to rev up as easy or high as with a petrol engine.
And yes, its easier to stall a petrol because less torque at low-end
as some one else has said there is no diferece these days if you dont have enough revs on any car van lorry ya will stallHow does driving a diesel car compare to driving a petrol car?
In a diseasal you change gear at lower revs and when you fill up and the garage has run out of plastic disposable gloves it makes your hands smell
You'll get the hang of it with either
