Thread: diesel vs petrol

In a predicament at the moment. Looking for a Ute for my everyday car. Would like 4x4 for hunting and on the farm but not entirely necessary, also must be able to tow race trailer. Have been advised by alot of people to stay away from diesels because of RUC, extra servicing and higher rego cost, but there just arnt as many petrol utes out there to chose from. Any advice would be appreciated, do you find it more expensive, hassle to run a diesel compared to a petrol? cheers Josh
