    You can buy a lot of petrol for the hourly charge out rate of a machanic.You could have a gas guzzling v8 that might only cost you 1k in ten years on repairs.I know somebody who just brought a toyota surf diesel 3litrs i think 6 months ago.3 months ago engine blew up.15k to rebuild,3 weeks after repairs it was back in garage in bits again.Had a guest in my house a month ago,brought a nice range rover diesel 3.6ltr,he talked about how cheap it was to run blablabla,then said the turbo blew its guts.11k to replace.Old petrol sixs or 8s looked after go for decades.
