now diesels dont even last longer because they choke on their own EGR crud before 200k

Diesel engined last longer , because they have lower revs

Everyone knows that it is entirely possible to design engines with less failure points that last longer. It was already done multiple times, mostly around the 90s with things like the Mercedes E Class diesels.

But they don't get as much money this way + jewish "environment" regulations targeted at Europeans and Americans (the only two regions in the world that DON'T actively pollute and have an environmentally conscious populace) because jews hate Christ.

Diesels are also more mechanically sound in most cases. They don't have spark plugs, they run cylinder liners, they control throttle off of fuel alone, and they can't rev as fast and instead derive horsepower through the higher torque numbers. Basically gas engines will wear through themselves faster and have more mechanical weakpoints and spin at a higher speed. Friction and rotational wear is always harder on components than the force of compression. Also Diesels are only running around double the compression ratio of gas engines, which is still not close to the mechanical limits of modern steel components. The surface area distributes the force everywhere pretty well. The weakest link is the head gasket. Gas engines do have the capacity to run a while though. But to really take advantage of that you need larger displacement engines, which at every level are going to be worse than a diesel except in their weight, which is irrelevant to a discussion on longevity
>>
>>27970074
>yeah but modern gasoline engines are more efficient so that means they're better like they might only last 150k miles but they get 10% better fuel mileage so that's a GOOD THING okay yeah maybe they could build those more efficient engines to last longer but then they would weigh more and that 10% efficiency advantage would only be 6% and theyd also be more expensive which is bad because BIPOC and other minority groups couldnt afford them as easily so its really in our best interest to make engines cheap (and efficient) youre starting to sound like a chud who cares about any of this??? walkable cities are the future anyways
>>
>>27970074
The diesel engines which you believe to last longer are probably the ones which are 9001kg industrial plants

I'm not sure you understand what MASS production is.

Its not an artesanal craft to make invidiual products of highest quality absolutely. The winner is the one that can make a tolerable product as lowest cost. You might hate it, but cost cutting everything everywhere at all times is why 95% of working population in U.S can afford to own a car.

Gas engines do have more points of failure, but spark plugs are easily replaceable and can be thought of as consumables in the very long term, unlike a blown gasket

DPF, SCR are even worse for engine lifespan, reliability.
>>
>>27970115
the bigger factor is the refining. you can only get X percent diesel out of Y crude oil. to my understanding the crude used in the US yields much more gasoline than diesel whereas the crude that Europeans use doesn't produce so much gasoline as opposed to diesel, hence why diesel is more popular there.

This is why the 2.slow is so based, it's the same block as the diesel which is stupidly overbuilt for a basic bitch NA 4cyl.
Renault K and F engines also use the same blocks between diesel and petrol variants.

This is diesel country, it has its ups and downs.
I remember in early covid lockdowns there was a massive shortage of DEF because the main licensed AdBlue factory was in goddamn Turkey and exports were fucked.
It was counterfeited to shit (it's just urea and water with Brussels stamp) and I assume they got instructions not to fine anyone over it because I never heard anyone getting into trouble for selling bootleg DEF

It might be slow, heavy and sound like shit but at least is reliable after I did an EGR delete, DPF delete and cleaned all the carbon from the intake. No, it's not passing emissions or any form of inspection, yes it does smoke under acceleration, no it's not more fuel efficient unless I hypermile the fuck out of it, yes I will need to replace the turbo and injectors at 200k miles.

No its taxation. Diesel is taxed around 50%(depending on the country) less than gasoline mostly because businesses that use commercial vehicles, that predominantly burn diesel, get some tax returns on fuel.
>>
>>27975437
Probably because they produce more diesel with their crude and thus don't tax it as much to encourage people to use it up.

Diesel cars have a much much higher failure ratio than gasoline cars, which have much higher failure ratio than hybrid cars.
If you want your car to last longer and be able to do thousands of kilometers with one gas tank, buy a hybrid.
>>
>>27988589
Where you're from, do people find EVs so desirable there's extra taxes on them instead of gibs?
>>
>>27988758
There's gibs, but you have to wait at least 2 years after buying the car to receive them, and you're not even guaranteed that by the time you should get your money there's even money left on the coffers.
And if you want the full amount that they give, you have to give and old car you've had for at least 6 months or a year to get destroyed or else they only give you 4500€, and the car can't exceed 45k before taxes.

>>27990639
>>literally worse than chink tech
The chink alternatives are objectively worse and literal ticking bombs under you're ass.
But for now the car is running great and I've got no complaints with it, besides one time that it started flashing me an alert to stop the car when there was no risk of hitting anything, but that was one single thing in a whole year of owning it.

They're built sturdier, but that means they're heavier. And more weight equals worse handling and balance.
It's why german cars never ever win drift competitions, they're just heavy as shit.

Oh, and also more weight of course means worse mileage. But it'd have to be a really big weight difference to bring a lighter gasoline engine up to par with diesel mileage.

My 2009 diesel Jetta never has any issues, just before DPFs too. I have to pay £200 to the nanny state because of emissions but I get 60mpg driving to work all the time, might get a newer diesel idk.
