Throughout the semester I have shown you all several benefits that diesel fuel and diesel vehicles have. I concluded with a few price comparisons that I would really like you to remember the next time your out car shopping. Diesel vehicles may cost a few more dollars in the beginning but you will save money over the life of the car.
I wish I could have given you my last comparison. It was going to be on the maintenance costs of a diesel and a gas vehicle of the same year and make. I didn't get a chance to do a blog post for this but I have been talking about it so here are the hard figures: 2005 gas Jetta 5 year total cost is $25,730.00; the 2005 TDI Jetta's 5 year total cost is $23,592.00; For a total savings of $2,138.00 over a five year period; Once again proving my point with dollars and cents diesel wins hands down.
I hope that I have opened some of your eyes to what diesel fuel and diesel vehicles have to offer. They are both better for us and the environment. They save us money and help keep our air clean. Are you thinking diesel yet? I know I am...

You know that you don't actually have to convince me (I stumbled onto diesel and really love such a reliable and efficient car), but I am glad I learned so much reading your blog! I now have great ammunition to give to friends (and family) when they go and attempt to purchase a new car. You know I'll be touting diesel, and I hope you keep your blog up so that I can send them your way so that they can learn from you as I did.
This was an impressive effort for a blog; I know the topics could have gotten more difficult as the semester went on, but what I really saw in this last post was that you actually *still* have more ideas. That's very impressive!
