The talk about CRDis being more expensive in the long run is a farce

Assume 10 years & 100,000kms and stagnance of gas prices

Accent diesel at 18kms per liter
Yearly gasoline expenditure: P23,333
Cumulative 10 year gasoline expenditure: P233,333

Honda City at 10kms per liter
Yearly gasoline expenditure: P52,000
Cumulative 10 year gasoline expenditure: P520,000

Yearly price difference: P28,667

The city will cost about P30k a year more in gas. Even if one would follow Hyundai's ridiculous 3000kms servicing scheme, the city is still more expensive to run.
