Default Re: Wheels special investigation: Australia’s own Dieselgate

I think that in a few years wrecking yards will be full of small diesel cars that are beyond economical repair because of clogged DPF filters.
And are diesel vehicles really that much more economical than petrol, recently I drove in convoy with a friend in his Amarok ute, me in my FGX Na XR6 from Goulburn to Glenrowan, a distance of 450 km, sitting on the speed limit, 110kph, the whole time. The Falcon used $58 of petrol, (8.7 l 100km), the Amarok $64 of diesel, and the Falcon left the Amarok for dead accelerating up the long hills.
